SYMPTOMS
If you rotate a text frame and then select and cancel the selection of some the text, unwanted dots or lines may appear between the lines of text. These lines will stay visible until you scroll or zoom your page.

NOTE: These dots and lines are not printed when you print your publication.



CAUSE
When you rotate a text frame and then select some of the text, Publisher has to rotate the highlight rectangle as well. When this rotated highlight rectangle is displayed, there may be pixels between the lines of text that are not colored with the highlight color. When you cancel the selection of the text, these pixels may change to the highlight color.



RESOLUTION
If you zoom in or out, when you scroll to a different part of the page, these pixels are displayed correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
