Editing Shapes - an issue
Jan 24, 2013

Some weirdness is happening, or it could be that I just need to step away from the computer.
Do the following & share your results:
1 - Go to Scene 2 Dell Difference
2 - View Slide Master
3 - Click on States tab
4 - Try to edit the State of Dell Difference or Schedule Assessment
** I get the Select a shape to view its states. But, I can't select those 2 shapes. Can you?
5 - Click on Areas of Storage to select that shape. Now I can edit the Areas of Storage shape. And, now that the Edit States button is active, I can click Edit States and then select the Dell Difference or Schedule Assessment shape from the Editing states on: box.
So, the question is why can I not select those other 2 shapes directly?

Hi Sandie!
Which sub-slide are you on for the Slide Master? I notice that if you try to select them in the second sub-slide, it doesn't work. However, if I try in the first (the one right below the main Master), or the last one, I can select all of them.
After noticing this, I thought maybe they were being covered up. I went down to the timeline (on the second sub-slide) and moved them up to the top. This seems to have fixed the issue for me.
Can you take a look and tell me if it works for you now? I'm attaching the modified version.
Hi Christine. Thanks for the quick response. I just discovered the same thing. You are correct. I had an object with a transparent background covering them up. Doh!
Hey Sandie,
No worries! Sometimes it helps to just ask for help We're using our own triggers for troubleshooting, I guess.
Glad to hear you got it working!
