This article was previously published under Q188729
SYMPTOMS
If you apply Shadow Effect 17 or Shadow Effect 18 to a bitmap image or import a
PowerPoint for the Macintosh version 4.0 presentation containing an embossed
image, the image may appear or be printed in gray.
In addition, if you apply Shadow Effect 17 or Shadow Effect 18 to the following
AutoShapes
Can
Cube
Bevel
Folder Corner
Smiley Face
you may experience odd behavior. For example, the line color may be losts and
you will have to reset it.
Similar behavior may also occur in other Microsoft Office programs, including
the following:
- Microsoft Excel 98
- Microsoft Word 98
CAUSE
Because PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition does not have an embossing feature
for objects, the embossing effects will be converted to the shadow styles
that are available in PowerPoint 4.0. These shadow styles are similar,
but not equivalent, to the embossing feature in PowerPoint 4.0. As a
result, the shadow styles handle the effects differently for objects.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
