Google Input Tools - Samskrtam is not working in Slides... It was working beautifully before. What happened??? I do remember installing a recent version of Google... Is this the problem?? Please check and fix ASAP please!! DhanyavAdaH Update on June 9, 2024 I'm able to type in Samskritam in the 'comments' in Slides. So I type in samskritam using the 'comments' feature and copy/paste on to the slides :-)
