2.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

When translating a Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh file with a 200-point Courier font to PowerPoint for Windows, the font will be displayed as a 36-point font (approximately) and is listed in the Style Size Other edit box as “-56” point.

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.
