Double bullet points in PowerPoint

Double bullet points have 'appeared' suddenly in the presentation I'm working on and I can't remove them - any ideas?

thanks

It's a bug in 15.28 and 15.29 Unless you are able to go back to 15.27 I don't think there is much you can do until MSFT fix it.

Until MS fixes this, the workaround is to remove the bullets, convert your SmartArt to shapes, then add the bullets back in.

Please click on the small smiley-face icon in the upper-right corner of the program window, choose Tell Us What Can Be Better and describe the issue. You can include your screen shot as well. The more complaints Microsoft gets, the faster they'll fix it.

I know MSFT are well aware of this bug and are likely to be working flat out on a fix as it is a major problem for people. While I don't know for sure I would expect a fix pretty soon.

I would suggest that if you convert to shapes you ALSO keep a presentation with real smart art as I believe the fix will revert them to single bullets.

This problem should be fixed in update 15.30, which is now available to Insider Fast updates and will percolate through all updates eventually.
Be sure to include the version number and OS version when asking your question.

Probably won't be fixed till the next 15.30 build. Keep updating. Sooner or later this will go away.
