SYMPTOMS
If you create a slide that uses the Shade From Title style of background shading and then paste a WordArt object into the Title placeholder of that slide, the shaded background is displayed incorrectly. Instead of appearing as a smooth gradient, the background of the slide may appear as a solid color with an irregular region of a contrasting color around the Title object. In addition, parts of the slide background may appear covered with jagged lines in the contrast color.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click Paste Special rather than Paste on the Edit menu, click Picture (Enhanced Metafile) in the As list, and then click OK.



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