No - unless I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to point out. In this instance, when using the 'T' icon from the drawing toolbar (show visible Text button) and clicking on a blank presentation sheet the result is _text_ not a graphic. F1/Help: text;toolbar. If you prefer not to open the entire Draw toolbar, then you can open and dock the Text buttons to the standard toolbar: View|Toolbars|Text. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
