================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you rotate a text box that contains more than one font, all the text appears in the same font as the first letter in the text box.

NOTE: The text box prints correctly, however.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this problem, change the text box to multiple text boxes. To do this:

  Before you rotate the object, select the text box.   On the Edit menu, click Cut.   On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.   From the resulting dialog box, select Picture, and then click OK.   On the Draw menu, click Ungroup. You will see the following message: Convert Picture to PowerPoint objects? Click OK.   On the Draw menu, click Regroup. </li>  Rotate the text object. </li></ol>

The text will now display as expected.

= STATUS =

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
