WINDOWS

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

The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c == Microsoft Organization Chart for Windows, version 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

If you insert an extended or accented character in a Microsoft Organization Chart that is embedded in a PowerPoint presentation, the character appears correctly while you are in Organization Chart. However, when you quit Organization Chart and return to PowerPoint, an extra space may be displayed after that character.

= CAUSE =

Whether this problem occurs depends on the Windows default printer driver. The following is a partial list of the Windows 3.1x printer drivers that cause this problem:


 * HP LaserJet 4/4M, 31.v1.20
 * HP Laser Jet 4P
 * HP DeskJet 500, v.2.14
 * HP LaserJet, v.2.1
 * Canon LBP-4

= WORKAROUND =

To work around this problem, use the HP LaserJet Series II driver or use one of the PostScript printer drivers that come with Windows as your default printer driver while you edit or create Organization Charts. Once you have completed your Organization chart, you can change your default printer driver back to your original choice.

When you use one of these alternate printer drivers, the space after the accented character disappears.

If you have existing Organization Chart objects that exhibit this problem, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Print.
 * 2) In the Print dialog box, click the Printers button.
 * 3) Click the HP LaserJet II (or a PostScript printer) on the list of installed printers.
 * 4) Click Close. This returns you to PowerPoint without printing anything.
 * 5) Double-click each Organization Chart in your presentation. As soon as Microsoft Organization Chart starts, click Exit and Return to on the File menu.
 * 6) After you have updated all of your Organization Chart objects, you can change back to your original printer driver.
