MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Subtle variation in object location between PPT 2002 and PPT 2007
I must edit PPT presentations in either PPT 2002 or PPT 2007. A number of the presentations have box and line objects. I have two problems: 1. There is a slight difference between the positioning of some lines aand boxes in the two programs. This becomes important when I am tracing lines or have colored boxes inside other objects. 2. WYS is NOT WYG all of the time. In eidt mode objects appear in proper alignment but they are not when in Slide Show. The differences are not big but are obvious. This gets frustrating sometimes. Perhaps these are known bugs. Hi, One I have seen is the way lines are drawn around objects. I have added lines to auto shapes and had to adjust them slightly. As for 2007, some of the drawing stuff is a bit strange. I guess, though, it has all been totally redone so there might be some kinds of problems. Someone else might be able to comment better.

Hm ... at some point (and I'm wondering if it was between 2002 and 2003?) the way lines are drawn around objects changed. You can check this easily: Draw two rectangles side by side. Give one a really thick outline, the other none. Zoom in on the corner where the two rectangles abut and note whether the outline sits half in and half outside the rectange or entirely outside. In 2003 it's split in/out. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
