SYMPTOMS
When you include a footer on a PowerPoint slide, the footer text may run
into the slide number and/or the date.
CAUSE
The preset locations of the date, footer, and slide number are text boxes
on the Slide Master that are present for easy access and formatting. If you
enter too much text into the footer box, it collides with the text from the
date and/or slide number boxes if they are also present.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, click Slide Master on the View menu, and then
move the date, slide number, header, and footer placeholders by dragging
them. Or, you can also resize them.
REFERENCES
For more information about formatting text frames, click Contents And Index
on the Help menu, click the Index tab in PowerPoint Help, type the
following text
double-click the selected text, and then double-click "Resize or crop an
object" to go to the "Resize or crop an object" topic. If you are unable to
find the information you need, ask the Office Assistant.
