Thanks so much for your help with my idiotic little problems. I have installed OO3.2.1 on my Vista desktop that does not have PowerPoint and also have a laptop that does have the old version of PP. I previously found that Impress would not embed graphics in a PP so I did the graphics on the laptop and then did some other text things on the desktop. Now when I go back to the laptop the text cannot be accessed or inserted. It shows as if it is there, it can be copied and pasted, but otherwise, when I type a new text box, I get 'invisible writing' :-) I have also tried saving as and then reopening. Any ideas?
