From: Shyam Pillai on 2 Apr 2010 15:56 If you are using PPT 2007 or later then it is possible to get the highlight even though it is not available in the UI. Highlight the text in Word and then paste it into PowerPoint (keep source formatting). This will bring in the highlights also. The caveat is that there is no way to get rid of the highlight short of deleting the highlighted text.

You can also use the format painter to apply the highlight (and font format) to other text once you have it in PPT, or to remove it by selecting text without the highlight.

Actually Rich it is quite proper to end a sentence with a preposition. It is something of an enduring myth that one shouldn't. It goes back to the teaching of Latin. So, while the text writers are quite fine with their grammar, you could use a brush up!
