Default Bullets in PPT 2003

Bullet / paragraph indentation (I believe) in ppt 2003 applies to the whole
text box, not just a specific paragraph / bullet point.

I think this has been changed in ppt 2007 (thank you MS), but is there a
work around for us unlucky ones still using ppt 2003?

I want to have a text box with normal text and indented bullet point. At
the moment the only way I have found to do this is actually have two text
boxes, then group them.

Default Bullets in PPT 2003

If you make the bulleted bullet a 2nd level bullet, you can remove the
bullet point and adjust the indents for the "normal" text (which is actually
the first level bullet). Make sense?
