Break in underlined text when published

Sometimes text which is underlined in PowerPoint becomes 'broken' when published. Below are screengrabs of the original PowerPoint and the published output.

I've tried recreating the problem slides / text boxes, sometimes it works but sometimes I just cannot fix it!

Does anyone know what can cause this?

Thanks,

Louise

Hi Louise - often that problem is caused by hidden formatting that might be leftover from text that you pasted in from elsewhere. You could try this:  either delete & re-create the textbox.... or ..... copy the text from the text box, paste it into Notepad, and then copy/paste it from Notepad back into the textbox. (This strips out any of the hidden formatting.)

If nothing else works, you could always just draw a line under the words.



**NOTE - never do this using white Tippex - it's a real pain to get off the screen....... 

Yours helpfully.

Hehe! I know - with all the Tippex, highlighter marks and biro scribblings on my screen, I can barely see what I'm doing!

Thanks Jeanette, I'll try the Notepad technique and see if that helps.
