SYMPTOMS
If you repeatedly switch between Outline view and Slide view, PowerPoint 7.0a may stop responding. When this happens, you must force PowerPoint to quit, and all unsaved work will be lost.



CAUSE
This is caused by a screen redraw problem in PowerPoint 95a that causes PowerPoint not to release GDI resources. If you exit and restart PowerPoint before it stops responding, all the GDI resources are released.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0b.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Office for Windows 95 version 7.0b.

If you have PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0a, you can obtain a patch to correct this problem. For information about how to obtain this patch, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

136603 PPT7: Patch to Correct PowerPoint 7.0a Screen Redraw Problem



MORE INFORMATION
The only way to obtain PowerPoint 95a is as part of Microsoft Office for Windows 95, version 7.0a. Only a few copies of this product were released.
