SYMPTOMS
When you include a footer on a PowerPoint slide, the footer text may run into the slide number and/or the date.



CAUSE
Text boxes on the Slide Master control the preset locations of the date, footer, and slide number. These are provided for easy access and formatting. If you enter too much text in the footer box, the text may collide with the text from the date and/or slide number boxes if they are also present.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, click Slide Master on the View menu, and then move or resize the date, slide number, header, and footer placeholders.
