 * Microsoft PowerPoint 98 for Macintosh

-



This article was previously published under Q188610





SYMPTOMS
If you select some text, click the Format Painter tool and then click a drawing object that has no text, your pointer changes to a Move pointer (four-headed arrow). This behavior is different from PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, which displays a paintbrush pointer until you click an object that contains text or until you click an unoccupied part of your slide.



CAUSE
This behavior is a design change in the enhanced drawing abilities in PowerPoint 98.
