This article was previously published under Q188621





SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PowerPoint, bold or outline style text formatted for a screen font may extend beyond the edges of its bounding box. This behavior occurs only with screen fonts such as New York and Geneva, and only if the text is formatted as either bold or outline.

Even if you selected Fit Text options such as "Word-wrap text in object" or "Adjust object size to fit text," the text extends beyond the right-hand edge of the bounding box. If you framed the text object, the text extends beyond the edge of the frame.



WORKAROUND
You can work around this behavior by using either of the following methods:
 * Manually resize the text frame to fit correctly around the text.

-or-
 * Avoid using screen fonts. Instead, use high-resolution fonts.
