SYMPTOMS
If you apply a Mouse Click or Mouse Over action setting to a vertical or horizontal line, the action does not occur when you click or move the mouse over the line during a slide show. In contrast, if you apply either the Mouse Click or Mouse Over action setting to a diagonal line, the action occurs as expected.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, cut the line and paste it as a picture.
 * 1) Select the line, and then click Cut on the Edit menu.
 * 2) On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
 * 3) In the Paste Special dialog box, click Picture or Picture (Enhanced Metafile), and then click OK.
 * 4) Move the picture to its correct position.
 * 5) On the Slide Show menu, click Action Settings.
 * 6) Click either the Mouse Click tab or the Mouse Over tab, select the options you want to use, and then click OK.
