PowerPoint Bullets Disappear? 1

I created a powerpoint yesterday containing 15 slides. Each slide has a text box and each sentence has a bullet. Today, when I opened the file, all the bullets were gone except for the top sentence. It's like this on every slide. Equally strange, is when I select the text box and click on the bullet tool in the menu, it fails to add additional bullets, like the way it was before. Currently, the first sentence is bulleted and if I click on the bullet icon, either the one bullet appears or disappears, however the other lines remain unaffected. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan
 
This is not a fix per se, but I am wondering if you go to the lines somehow formatted themselves to be a paragraph. If you go to the end of the bulleted line and delete all the spaces between the two lines, then hit return, do the bullets show up? If yes, when you save the file, does it happen again?
 
Yeah, I deleted the spaces and it works fine now. Thanks Doroth!

Much appreciated.
