Title Object’s Frame Is Incompletely Drawn in PowerPoint PSS ID Number: Q64723 Article last modified on 09-25-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

WINDOWS

Summary:

Sometimes the Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows title object’s frame will be incompletely drawn with the left side missing.

To reproduce this behavior, do the following:


 * 1) Open a new presentation using the default settings.
 * 2) With the title object selected, from the Draw menu, choose Framed.
 * 3) Drag the title object to the right (at least the width of the title).
 * 4) Type “Slide 1” (without the quotation marks [or enough text to overflow the space for “Title”]).
 * 5) Click anywhere off the title to deselect it.

The frame may not be drawn on the left side of the box. The frame is drawn correctly if you force a redraw of the slide.

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.
