PPT97: Text Not Automatically Selected in Presentation Templates

ID: Q157282

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows

SUMMARY

If you click inside a Title or Text placeholder, in one of the presentations listed under the Presentations Tab (Business Plan, Company Meeting, etc.), the text is not selected and any text typed is added to the existing text instead of replacing it.

If you click inside a Text or Title placeholder of a blank presentation, the existing text disappears and is replaced with the new text.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. The Presentation Templates are content templates that contain actual text instead of text placeholders.

If you want to replace the existing text, select the text in the Presentation Templates before typing new text. This replaces the existing text.
