Microsoft PowerPoint 98 for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q182844

SYMPTOMS

When you underline text within a text box, AutoShape, or placeholder in Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition, the underline appears above the text rather than below it.

NOTE: This behavior also occurs with hyperlink underlines.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem use the Rotate Or Flip command. To do this:

Select the object you want to rotate.
On the Draw menu, point to Rotate Or Flip, and click Rotate Right.

The underline will appear beneath the text.

NOTE: The Rotate command rotates the entire object. This behavior is different from the rotate text behavior. Rotate Text, as the name implies, just rotates the text and not the shape.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
