Removing or trimming objects outside the slide boundaries
I borrowed a slide created by a colleague. When I changed the size of a rounded rectangle to fit my text, the part of the rectangle that was off the slide is now visible in slide view. When publishe...
Slide View shows all of the objects associated with a slide, including those that are placed off of the main slide area. That's because Slide View is used for editing, and the developer needs to see everything associated with the slide.
If it bothers you that much to see an object spill into the area outside of the slide, you could create a "picture" of the shape you want (in this case, a rounded rectangle with the left edge straightened), and fill a rectangle shape with that picture.
Or you could insert an image of a rounded rectangle, crop it as needed, and then add a separate text box over it.
To me, that seems like a lot of work just to have clean edges in Slide View. . .
