WINDOWS

Summary:

When you change text using the Find/Change or Spelling commands in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, the updated text appears in the wrong color until the text box or label is updated.

The following re-creates the problem:


 * 1) Enter some text with color VT4.
 * 2) Choose Find/Change from the Text menu and enter a string that is contained in the text entered in the previous step in the Find Text dialog box.
 * 3) Enter some text in the Change To dialog box.
 * 4) Click the Find button.
 * 5) With the found string highlighted in the slide, click the Change button. Note that the text appears in the wrong color.
 * 6) Move on or close to the Find/Change dialog box and the object updates correctly.

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.
