In Powerpoint 2007, how can I prevent text that's not supposed to appear from being opaque?
Please excuse the awkward phrasing. I have bullet points posed as questions. I don't want the answers to appear until I click the mouse. This works in powerpoint 2003 but in 2007, the answers are opaque but visible.
Example: What is x? (visible)
x is blah blah (semi-visible--words are blurred)
Example of what I want: -What is x? (visible)
- x is blah blah (invisible until I click).
I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you are talking about. Unfortunately, I have no idea how it happens, but I think I may have a solution for you - from having worked around this evil problem myself.
It's kind of a crappy solution since you've probably got a lovely design going, but try turning the drop shadow off in your 2007 version. Then when you see it in 2003 you won't get that freakin' ghost of the text before the text comes on.
You may be able to get away with a hard, opaque shadow in 2007 if you want to maintain some shadow - it will take some experimenting, but try just clicking on the S (for Shadow) in the Home tab.
If you don't have shadows, it's something like that - some effect in the text that you'll have to lose.
