Others were created by co-workers who are running Office 365 on Windows (primarily Win 7, maybe some Some of the files where created on Office 2011 for Mac (by me). Most (all?) of the PPTs that I am working were created from the same master template. In addition, I can click in a text box, hit return to get a new line, and then WHAM, not be able to continue typing. In addition, I could just have edited a box, paged down (or into another app) to look at sometime else, come back to that same box, and wham, can't edit it. The issue occurs on both newly inserted slides, as well as existing slides. Several times solves the problem, but the issue is so pervasive that it's becoming a huge time suck. I click inside the text box, try to start typing, and get the 'ding' sound that says nope can't do that here.
