    SYMPTOMS

    Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

    When you click the SpecialEffects button on the Formatting toolbar in either forms or reports, the SpecialEffects option box extends beyond the right edge of the screen.

    CAUSE

    When the video resolution is set to 640 by 480 pixels and when the Formatting toolbar is docked at the top or at the bottom of the window, the length of the Formatting toolbar is too long to fully display the SpecialEffects option box.

    RESOLUTION

    To work around this behavior, increase the video resolution to a resolution higher than 640 by 480 pixels (VGA).

    If increasing the resolution is not possible, undock the Formatting toolbar from the top or the bottom of the screen. To undock the Formatting toolbar, click an area of the toolbar not covered by a button, and then drag the toolbar away from the edge of the window. Note that the SpecialEffects option box is displayed fully.
