SHIFT KEY Constraint Is No Guarantee of 45-Degree Lines PSS ID Number: Q68031 Article last modified on 10-29-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

If you choose Snap To Grid from the Draw Menu, there is no guarantee that angled lines, drawn with the SHIFT or CTRL+SHIFT constraint key(s) depressed, will be drawn at 45 degrees. Occasionally, a jag will appear in the center of the line as the endpoints of the line snap to the nearest grid points.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.00. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
