Today I had a strange PowerPoint document where the text was wrapping in the middle of words rather than at the spaces between the words. Example below
There seems to be no way to fix this within Microsoft® PowerPoint® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2602 Build 16.0.19725.20058) 64-bit [the latest version].
It appears this problem is caused by the document being saved when running on a machine with Asian language support (which I don't have installed).
The solution is as follows :-
1) Save the .pptx file to a folder on your PC (C:\Temp\PPT1.pptx in my example)
2) Rename the .pptx file to .zip (PPT1.zip in my example)
3) Use "Extract All" to extract all the files from the .zip file into a set of folders (creating C:\Temp\PPT1 folder and sub-folders in my example)
4) Use Notepad++ to "Replace in Files" with "In all sub-folders" enabled and replace all latinLnBrk="1" with latinLnBrk="0"
