Some Emphasis options are grayed out.

[Guest]

Hi,
Running PP 2003 and using custom automation. In some slides I can select a
text item in a list and apply any kind of emphasis to the text. On other
slides many of the emphasis options are grayed out. What can be causing this?
Thanks, Chuck

Are you trying to apply to text in both cases? (some are not available for
shapes)
If this is not the problem can you describe the slide and which are greyed
out.

If it is the problem try this:

Add some text to the shape
Add emphasis
Delete text

Hi John,
Yes, in both cases it is text that I am trying to put the emphasis on. It's
easier to say which are not grayed out: Grow.Shrink, Transparancy, Spin, &
Flashbulb.

I can send the slide if you like?

Thanks, Chuck

You can send me a slide but before you do could the text be in a group or if
you don't have 2007 could it be word art?

The text is in a group but no word art; just text.
