SYMPTOMS
If you paste a PowerPoint 98 slide into a Word 98 document, the text in the slide is stretched or truncated when you crop the slide object and then double-click the slide object to edit it.

This symptom is most noticeable if you crop the PowerPoint slide object so that it is a very different shape. The closer the cropped shape is to the shape of the original slide, the less noticeable this symptom is.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can crop the slide object in Word 98 after you have made all of your changes to the slide object.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint 98 does not function as an OLE automation server.
