PPT98: Text Extends Beyond Edge of Text Box or Frame

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft PowerPoint, bold or outline style text formatted for a screen font may extend beyond the edges of its bounding box. This behavior occurs only with screen fonts such as New York and Geneva, and only if the text is formatted as either bold or outline.

Even if you selected Fit Text options such as "Word-wrap text in object" or "Adjust object size to fit text," the text extends beyond the right-hand edge of the bounding box. If you framed the text object, the text extends beyond the edge of the frame.
