SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 97, you can move the yellow adjustment handles for a callout to adjust the location and size of the callout. If a callout has three or more adjustment handles, when you move the adjustment handles, one of the handles disappears.



CAUSE
This problem may occur when you move one of the adjustment handles such that it is on top of another handle for the same callout. When this occurs, the handle that is beneath the other handle becomes unusable and may not be visible.



RESOLUTION
When this problem occurs, there is no way to recover the handle. If you require the additional yellow adjustment handle to size or position the callout line, you must recreate the callout.



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



MORE INFORMATION
The AutoShapes menu on the Drawing toolbar is new to Microsoft Excel 97. The AutoShapes that are available include basic shapes like rectangles and circles, plus a variety of lines and connectors, block arrows, flowchart symbols and banners, and callouts. To insert an AutoShape, click AutoShape on the Drawing toolbar.
