Designer 2.1 Text Not Scaled Correctly in PowerPoint PSS ID Number: Q64462 Article last modified on 04-30-1993 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

2.00 3.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

When using the Paste From command in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows to import a file from Micrografx Designer version 2.1 (.DRW file extension), the fonts will not be scaled correctly.

For example:

Centered text from Designer 2.1 is offset to the left edge of the picture; that is, it is centered as a group of lines of text. However, the group is offset relative to the rest of the picture.

Fonts from Designer 2.1 import too small. For example, 24-point helvetica is imported at about 21 point, but the typeface looks correct.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint for Windows version 2.0 and 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
