PPT98: Shading From Title Wrong When WordArt Pasted Into Title

SYMPTOMS

If you create a slide that uses the Shade From Title style of background shading and then paste a WordArt object into the Title placeholder of that slide, the shaded background is displayed incorrectly. Instead of appearing as a smooth gradient, the background of the slide may appear as a solid color with an irregular region of a contrasting color around the Title object. In addition, parts of the slide background may appear covered with jagged lines in the contrast color.
