Alain,

Really?
The title "Chemical Engineering" in Slide 45 (just as an example) shows
(is
it) centered in *any* PowerPoint version? In which version might it "show
okay"?
;-)
> I guess it's still a bit mysterious.
As mysterious as the 21 tabs in the titles and in the text boxes...
As mysterious as the multiple line breaks before and after text...
As mysterious as the chaotic interlines used (different for every line in
every paragraph)...
As mysterious as the chaotic misuse of 11 fonts in a 46 slides
presentation...
As mysterious as the different English-es used for the text...
As mysterious as how someone uses Notes pages (without slides... with
inserted text boxes... etc.)
Summing up...
As mysterious as *how* some people *use* PowerPoint's possibilities and/or
may copy-paste from different presentations to build a new one... I feel
*The real Mystery* is poor PowerPoint being able of showing anything at
all...
;-)
Very cordialmente
Enric
