Re: FN-FORUM: Editing powerpoint slide woes

fraid there's nothing you can do in office direct - however rather than
recreating the whole slide again - can you not print a pdf of the word doc
that you have and open it in illustrator and modify what you have to there?
This way you can still modify the text and lines to a certain extent.
