PPT98: Header or Footer Text Runs into Date or Slide Number (188924)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q188924 SYMPTOMS
When you include a footer on a PowerPoint slide, the footer text may run
into the slide number and/or the date.
CAUSE
The preset locations of the date, footer, and slide number are text boxes
on the Slide Master that are present for easy access and formatting. If you
enter too much text into the footer box, it collides with the text from the
date and/or slide number boxes if they are also present.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, click Slide Master on the View menu, and then
move the date, slide number, header, and footer placeholders by dragging
them. Or, you can also resize them.
REFERENCES

object" to go to the "Resize or crop an object" topic. If you are unable to
find the information you need, ask the Office Assistant.
