PUB: Inserting Data Map Causes Zoom Button to Lock Down (137462)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Publisher 97
- Microsoft DataMap for Windows 1.0
This article was previously published under Q137462 SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Microsoft Data Map object into a Publisher file, the
zoom button sticks, causing the zoom '+' and '-' buttons to zoom either
to 400% or to 10%. Moving the mouse pointer away from the + or - stops
the locked zoom process.
CAUSE
The insertion of the Data Map object causes a software interrupt that
prevents the information about the zoom control being released from
reaching Publisher. This is why it continues to zoom either in or out.
WORKAROUND
To set the desired zoom percentage in Publisher, click the zoom percentage
box on the bottom toolbar. This will display a list of all the zoom sizes
from 10% to 400%. Select the zoom you want and it will immediately zoom to
that percentage.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Data Map. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
