APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 for Macintosh
This article was previously published under Q188610
SYMPTOMS
If you select some text, click the Format Painter tool and then click
a drawing object that has no text, your pointer changes to a Move pointer
(four-headed arrow). This behavior is different from PowerPoint for
Windows 95, version 7.0, which displays a paintbrush pointer until you click an
object that contains text or until you click an unoccupied part of your slide.
CAUSE
This behavior is a design change in the enhanced drawing abilities in
PowerPoint 98.
