Issue: Powerpoint transitions and animation of text and images sliding in from right to left displays unwanted distortion in the moving elements on screen. Hardware: 21.5 iMac, 2.7Ghz i5, nVIDIA GeForce GT640M 512MB (this has also been seen on 27 iMacs and a 15 MacBook Pro) Software: Mountain Lion 10.8.3, Microsoft Office 2011 (14.3.2) If an external display is attached = no distortion If Lion 10.7.5 is used = no distortion If Office 2008 is used = no distortion If Retina MBP is used = no distortion the common denominators are Mountain Lion, Office 2011 & the GeForce GT640M, if any of these are replaced the issue fails to arise. A full erase and reinstall on all machines fails to remove the issue. Kind regards, Adrian. ![]() That's no fun. I'm inclined to think this problem is inherent with either Mac OS X and how it is interacting with hardware (my first suspicion) or a faulty update in Office (my second suspicion). The troubleshooting steps to make this determination have been precluded by the OS X limitation. I don't know whose door you should pound on, Apple's or Microsoft's, so I'll leave that to you. If you purchase a Microsoft Support incident and it turns out to be a Microsoft bug, you won't be charged for that support incident and can use it again later. You can purchase support by visiting and near the bottom click on Contact a Support Professional. I hate to see you spend money on that if it turns out to be a Mac OS X bug, because then Microsoft would charge you to tell you that. Apple lets you report bugs and gives decent, free follow-up. But they might simply point the finger at Microsoft unless you can provide rock-solid evidence that it is an Apple bug or an Apple provided hardware bug (such as an NVIDIA driver that's faulty). I guess I'd start with this, as I do think the most likely problem is Mac OS X, not PowerPoint in this situation. I am an unpaid volunteer and do not work for Microsoft. 'Independent Advisors' work for contractors hired by Microsoft. 'Microsoft Agents' work for Microsoft Support.

Word When you want to add visual depth to your document, you have choices. You can insert WordArt, a series of preset text effects that stretch or bend text in interesting ways. Or you can apply text styles to text that you've already inserted, either standalone text or text in a text box. Do any of the following: Apply a text effect to existing text • Select the text that you want to format. • On the Home tab, under Font, click Text Effects, and then select the effect that you want to apply to the text. Tip: To apply other text formatting and effects (for example, small caps or double strikethrough), on the Format menu, click Font. ![]() Transform is a special stylizing option available in PowerPoint only for text -- follow these steps to explore more in PowerPoint 2013: Select the text that you want to apply a transform effect to -- you can also select the entire text box or place holder as shown in Figure 2, below.
