Powerpoint Slide - how to prevent spurious upside down text appearing below text boxes?

Trouble-with-Course-Outline-Slide.pptxHi Experts,

I am using Powerpoint 2010.

I've got one slide (see attachment) that is giving me grief.

There is spurious upside down text appearing below my 3 text boxes.  I've put a Cloud shape over each region.

The spurious text gets hidden if I increase the height of the text boxes by dragging the bottom down, but that looks ugly.

Regards,
Leigh

this is due to the selected Shape Effect that mirrorly reflect the text of the content. Hence, perhaps 2 options for you...

1. Try to fill the cloud shapes with solid white color?

2. Change the Shape Style of your tables.
3. Change the Shape Effect of your tables.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your sample.

Sorry, I did not make it clear - the cloud shapes were only included to show where the problem text was.

I deleted the 3 clouds in your sample.  2 areas are now OK, but the one in the top right hand corner (below Mechanistic Design) still has the problem text.

Regards,
Leigh
