powerpoint >> Formatting Palette Shrunk

by hibpea1 » Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:20:34 GMT

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Was preparing a presentation using the palette repeatedly when suddenly most of the features disappeared.The only things now available are: Font, Document Theme and Slide Background.

On the back where it reads Toolbox Settings: Close Effect reads Genie and it says Formatting Palette and everything is the Show Panels is checked off.

This is a disaster for me as I am under pressure to get these presentations done for work. It was working fine then just suddenly went away.

The Formatting Palette content is contextual -- what's presented there is
dependent on what you have selected at the time. IOW, if you are active in a
line of text the tools that pertain to pictures won't be there & vice versa.

Thank you. I had suddenly noticed the disappearance and did not realize that I was not asking it to format something at the time and that was why it did not show up.

1. Difficulty with re-formatting the formatting palette 

In PPoint 2004, I've somehow reformatted the formatting plaette to only 
show 3 options (font, alignment and change slide).  I want to have the full 
options, but when I go to the "customize formatting plaette" option, they are 
all checked.  I've tried de-selecting, re-selecting all, etc. but nothin works - 
I either get nothing, or just those three - any help greatly appreciated

Version: 2004

I have just moved to mac from PC. I have a design template which has title slide with red background (in master) and then 4 normal slides with blue, yellow, green and purple backgrounds.

6. Disappearing formatting palette

7. Formatting Palette buttons disappear 

So I'm working along on PPT, with my full Formatting Palette visible.
I toggled through some of the shadowing options, then clicked one.

Nothing much happened to the document, but suddenly, about half of the
buttons on my Formatting Palette disappeared, including the one that
lets me create a shadow.

I looked in Customize Formatting Palette and all of the boxes are
checked, but only a few appear in the palette itself. I've tried
closing and reopening, shutting down and powering up, etc.

The formatting palette's in Word and Excel seem to work just fine.

Anyone else see this behavior? Is there a way to get it back?
