Hello,

I am currently making a PowerPoint presentation where I highlight certain parts of the text and I've noticed that there are vertical lines appearing which are really ugly.

Is there a solution to make them disappear?

Thank you very much

    Hello.

    I can't help you: my version of PowerPoint (2013) doesn't have a Highlight tool!
    Make a copy of the file, delete all the slides except the one that is making this joke, and send that lighter file. 
     1) Go to https://www.cjoint.com/ 
     2) Click on [Browse] to select the file (max 15 MB)
     3) Scroll down to click on the blue button [Create Cjoint link] 
     4) After a few seconds, the second page appears, with the link in bold; right-click on it and choose "Copy link"
     5) Go back to the discussion on CCM, and in your message, do "Paste".

      Hello and thank you for your response,

      This issue arises every time I highlight; the highlighting seems to emphasize the space reserved for the various characters. I mainly wanted to know if there is something to activate/deactivate that I was not aware of.

      As for figuring out who is bypassing the issue, I could create colored rectangles, but to be honest, it's much less convenient than just highlighting.

    Hello.

    Sorry to repeat myself, but how can you highlight text in PowerPoint, which doesn't have that tool, that I only find in Word and Excel?

    Hello,

    I am using a feature that does not seem to appear in your version; in my version, it only appears in the font tab present on the ribbon. When I try to find more features by opening a new tab as you did, it does not show up.

    ... this is why we keep asking to specify which version of the software is being used!
    it saves time and unnecessary interventions ...
