SYMPTOMS
========
If you create a text box in Microsoft PowerPoint and set different alignment
attributes to the paragraphs in the text box, the text box may shift to a new
position and the paragraph alignment may be incorrect after you save the file in
PowerPoint 4.0 format.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use a text placeholder instead of a text box. When you apply different alignment
attributes in a text placeholder, the correct alignment is retained when you
save your file in PowerPoint 4.0 format.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Following are two examples of how the text box and paragraph alignment change
when you save a PowerPoint 7.0 file as a PowerPoint 4.0 file:
Example 1
If you have four paragraphs in a text box, where paragraphs one and three are
centered and paragraphs two and four are left-aligned, the text box shifts to
the right and all four paragraphs are formatted with left alignment.
Example 2
If you have four paragraphs in a text box, where paragraphs two and three are
left-aligned, and paragraphs one and four are center-aligned, the text box does
not shift, but all of the text is center-aligned.
