• How To Center A Text Box In Photoshop

I am running powerpoint (ms office 2004 for mac running osx 10.4.x). On a slide, when I create a text box and add text, as the box grows the cross-hatched outline of the box does not update (refresh) properly and soon my screen is covered with partially formed cross-hatched box outlines. When I move to a new slide and then back, the text looks normal (the cross-hatching outline is gone) but if I try to edit the text the cross-hatching issue returns. Is this a problem with my system software or, as Apple claims, with mac office 2004. This is not a killer but it is a real nuisance.

How To Center A Text Box In Photoshop

Any help is appreciated. Similar issues with 2004 PowerPoint text box I'm running PowerPoint 2004 (v 11.3.1) on Leopard 10.5.1 with an Intel chip (also don't know hardware specs) and am having the same text box issues in PowerPoint. After I deselect a text box, a sort of 'shadow' of a cross-hatched box lingers where the text box was. It disappears only when I either 'rub' it out by dragging another element over the hatches (text box or otherwise) or scroll to another page (or sometimes to another part of the same slide, depending on my% zoom).
