Is there functionality in Powerpoint 2003 to show the paragraph marks (same as the functionality of Show/Hide Paragraph Mark button in Microsoft Word)?
Well most of us who use Word professionally love having Show/Hide on. It is just that PowerPoint is not a word processor, so it does not have it. As Skip suggests, you could use Word document objects, but bleech, bleech.
I definately understand that it's not a word processor, but being that powerpoint is for presentations, everything should line up as nicely as possible for presentation purposes.
I understand your concern - I've seen some whacky uses of Excel as a word processor...also have seen individuals using a calculator to total a column within Excel...
And some even more whacky uses of Word as a spreadsheet!
Still, generally speaking, PowerPoint does line up text pretty good. I thought the issue was seeing the paragraph marks for the purpose of seeing extraneous spaces. The paragraph mark itself does not have anything to do with lining things up.
Yes, presentation should absolutely line up nicely. Rather the point isn't it? I am not following how seeing the paragraph marks would help this.
I should have been more specific - when turning on the paragraph marks, the space/tab/etc marks appear as well. It allows me see what exactly is affecting how things are spaced. (Granted when I write the document myself, I know what I did to align text, though others have differing methods of aligning text and not all text may be written by myself but from my coworkers).
