SYMPTOMS

When you run your presentation in slide show view, some of the objects in your presentation (text boxes, pictures, drawing objects) may be built incorrectly.

CAUSE

This problem may occur when the animation settings for the object includes the following:

The "Start When Previous Build Ends" check box is selected (under "Build Options"
A setting is selected in the "After Build Step" drop-down box

If you use these two options with the same object, the After Build Step will fail.

RESOLUTION

Use one or the other of these options. That is, if you want to use the the "After Build Step" option, clear the "Start When Previous Build Ends" check box (under Build Options).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint version 7.0 for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
