PPT2000: Object Border Extends Past Edge of Slide (198218)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q198218 SYMPTOMS
When you place an object that has a thick border at the edge of a
slide in PowerPoint, half of the object's border extends past the
edge of the slide area. This is not noticeable if your shape has a
thin outline. When you run a slide show or print a slide, the border
that extends past the edge of the slide is printed thinner than the
borders on the other sides of the object.
CAUSE
In PowerPoint, the boundaries of a shape are calculated based on
the assumption that the shape has no border. The shape's boundary is
calculated based on the center of the shape. As a result, when a shape is
positioned at the edge of the slide, it is "snapped" into place, and the
boundary touches the edge of the slide. If the shape has a border, the border
extends past the edge of the slide.
RESOLUTION
After you position the object at the edge of the slide, point to Draw on
the Drawing toolbar, click Nudge, and use the arrow keys to move the object
away from the edge of the slide.
