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

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

If a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation contains text that is formatted as superscript or subscript, the text may not be printed correctly, although it appears correctly on the screen. Specifically, one of the following may result on the printed copy:


 * The words preceding the superscripted or subscripted text will print above or below the baseline as though the entire line were superscripted or subscripted.
 * The superscripted or subscripted text will be in the wrong location. It will be raised or lowered only slightly from the baseline and not in the correct position.

= STATUS =

The problem occurs when you use version 8.x of the Apple LaserWriter driver with PowerPoint version 3.0, 3.0b or 4.0 for the Macintosh. Using version 7.1.2 or 7.2 of the printer driver resolves this problem.

= WORKAROUND =

You can replace the superscripted or subscripted text with spaces and place a separate text object containing the text to be superscripted or subscripted in the desired position. Drag the new text object up or down to give the illusion of superscripted or subscripted text.
