PowerPoint Custom Object Fills and Word's Picture Editor (155484)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q155484 SYMPTOMS
If you use Word's picture editor to edit a non-rectangular object
created in PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 that contains one
of PowerPoint's custom fills, the fill takes on a rectangular shape
outside of the original object's boundaries.
CAUSE
This happens to non-rectangular PowerPoint 7.0 objects when they contain
fills that are not solid colors or patterns. This happens when the
PowerPoint 7.0 object is copied and pasted, or dragged and dropped into a
Word 7.0 document. The picture editor in Word does not correctly process
the custom fills created by PowerPoint tools.
RESOLUTION
If you need to edit a non-rectangular PowerPoint drawing object, copy and
paste it into PowerPoint. Edit the object in PowerPoint, then copy and
paste it back into your Word document.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word for
Windows 95, version 7.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft
Word 97 for Windows.
