APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q135323

SYMPTOMS

When you click Post To Exchange on the File menu in PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, the insertion point fails to change to an hourglass shape.

Even though you can drag the mouse and move the insertion point, you cannot click on items on your screen until the message has been posted.

When this behavior occurs, it may appear that PowerPoint has stopped responding.

WORKAROUND

When you use the Post To Exchange command, wait for the insertion point to become fully functional again (even though this process may take a long time).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in PowerPoint 97 for Windows.
