How to Remove a Comma in PowerPoint Without Affecting Colors

While preparing an event slide, I noticed a small formatting issue: there was an unnecessary comma after February. Instead of redesigning the entire banner, I fixed it directly in PowerPoint — without affecting the original colors.

🔹 Before (With Comma)

Notice the comma after February.

🔹 After (Comma Removed)

The comma has been removed while maintaining the exact same font style, size, and color.

💡 Method Used (PowerPoint Trick)

  1. Select the text box.
  2. Carefully delete the comma.
  3. If spacing shifts, adjust character spacing slightly.
  4. Ensure font color and formatting remain unchanged.

This simple adjustment keeps your design professional and clean, especially for official academic or event slides.

Tip: Small punctuation details can make a big difference in formal presentations.

From DSRC to 5G NR-V2X: The Road Ahead for Connected Vehicles

Modern vehicles are no longer just machines on wheels. Through Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication , they are becoming active participants in intelligent transport systems, enabling safer driving, smoother traffic, and progress toward automation. DSRC: The First Step The earliest V2X technology was Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) , based on IEEE 802.11p. Operating in the 5.9 GHz band , it allowed onboard units (OBUs) in vehicles to exchange safety and infotainment data with roadside units (RSUs) . While DSRC was effective for short-range messaging, it faced limits in coverage, data rate, and quality of service (QoS) . These challenges motivated researchers to explore new solutions. D2D and the Cellular Shift A key breakthrough came with Device-to-Device (D2D) communication , where vehicles exchange information directly without always relying on infrastructure. This reduces latency, eases network congestion, and helps maintain reliability in crow...

How to Fix the LaTeX “Not allowed in LR mode” Error When Highlighting Revisions If you highlight changes in a LaTeX manuscript using commands such as \change{...} , \rev{...} , or \hl{...} , you may eventually run into this error: LaTeX Error: Not allowed in LR mode. This often confuses authors, especially during journal revisions. Fortunately, the cause is simple: you placed a command inside the highlight block that LaTeX does not allow in LR mode. 🔍 Why This Error Happens Highlight macros like \change{} put LaTeX into a restricted text-only mode called LR mode . Inside LR mode, LaTeX only accepts basic text . The following commands cannot appear inside a highlight block: Section commands: \section , \subsection , \subsubsection Figures and tables List environments ( itemize , enumerate ) Math environments ( equation , align ) Captions and labels ( \caption , \label ) Any \begin{...} / \end{...} environment If even one of these appears in...
