It is not possible to position the insert point (with a left click of the mouse) on a blank line unless the insert point is already positioned somewhere in the text box. If a text box has only blank lines and none of the lines have any text or bullets on them, you will not be able to position the insert point in the box again once it is deseleced. To Reproduce: 1) Create a slide. 2) In the main body, hit enter to create an empty bullet item 3) Backspace once to delete the bullet 4) Repeat this several times so that you have several empty lines there 5) Now add one more bullet item, but this time type some text in it. 6) You now have several blank lines of text and one with some text on it. 7) Click close to the edge of the slide to deslect the text box where you have been putting bullets. 8) Try to position the insert point on one of the blank lines. You can't. 9) Now position the insert point on the one non-blank line... that works 10) Now try to position the insert on the blank lines, and it works. 11) Delete the one non blank line. Now you only have blank lines. 12) Deselect the text box by clicking at the edge of the slide. 13) Try positioning the insert point in the text box. You can't.
