Hi
On a machine runing Win 2K and Office 2K I experience the following:
I inserted (embeded) a WMF electrical draw.
Some of the lines on the draw are not visible (dispayed on screen) in the
slide view.
The slide prints OK and when zoomed the lines are visible.
I can't use the slide for presentation since in the slide show it is not
possible to zoom.

How do I correct this?
Thanks,
Hector

What is the source of this WMF file? Don't use lines thinner than 1 pt in
drawings, as some monitors and many projectors cannot display them. If you
resize large vector drawings, the lines become thinner, thus a line of 1 pt
in the original drawing might be too thin in the resized one.

Best regards,
Ute

By "embedded" do you mean that you inserted the WMF as an object?
Instead, try Insert, Picture, From File to bring it into PowerPoint.

If that still has the same problem, you'll probably need to ungroup the graphic
and then thicken the lines that are disappearing.
