MS Power Point 2000 running under Windows Me:
I inserted an auto shape unto a blank slide. I then formated the shape for fill to change from the default green to no fill. I changed my mind and would like to fill auto shape with another color. However, when I tried to format the auto shape again, it could not be selected, i.e. the arrow did not turn into a four-headed one with the usual place holders and adjustment points. The only solution was to delete the silde and create a new one. Is there another way ? I am new to Power Point. Thanks.
