Powerpoint for Office 95 dialog display problem under 4.0b2
Dr. Douglas C. Merrill
Hi to all...
I'm running NT 4.0B2, and have Office 95 installed. For some unknown
reason, the message dialogs (e.g., "Save changes? (y/n)") appear in
little tiny boxes so that I can't see the text, and can only see the
very top of the buttons (so I have to remember which is yes, no, or
cancel).
I have tried reinstalling PP, and no change.
I wondered if it could be related to my display settings. My system
is running a Diamond Stealth monitor card with hardware default
refresh. I have it set to 1280x1024 resolution using large fonts.
Just to see what happened, I rebooted my system into VGA mode via the
boot-up menu, and got the same behavior -- I haven't tried changing
the resolution by hand to something else, nor have I tried changing
the refresh rate.
Anybody out there have any ideas? Assistance appreciated!
Peace, DCM

This is a known bug with PowerPoint 7.0, 7.0a and 7.0b on NT
4.0 Beta releases.
It has been fixed in later builds past 1314 (Beta2) and works
fine.
Don't panic, not long to the release.
Regards
Mike
