I trying to create a presentation (slide show) using Mathematica 7.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 for the first time. I am using the default stylesheet. On the first slide, I inserted a 1x2 grid (using the "classroom assistant" palette). On the left hand side of the grid I typed some text. When I do so, the background of the grid turns beige. On the right hand side of the grid I copied and pasted a 3D rotatable graphic (a cube obtained from PolyhedronData ["Cube"]). Again, the background is beige. When I click somewhere else not on the grid, the background turns white. Then, when I view the slide in slideshow mode, the grid background is white. However, if I rotate the graphic, the background of the grid becomes beige, and I am unable to return it to white by clicking off the grid. Clicking somewhere else returns only the text side to white but not the graphic side. The result is a poor looking presentation. Do any of you have any suggestions for avoiding this behavior? Is there a preferred method for placing text and graphics side by side? Thanks for your help, Adam
