PPT: Presentation Contains Blank Boxes If Saved as 4.0 (138252)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q138252 SYMPTOMS
After you save a PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 as a PowerPoint 3.0
or 4.0 presentation, two rectangles appear near the bottom of the slide. These rectangles are located in approximately the same place as Headers and Footers
in the PowerPoint 7.0 version of the presentation.
These objects are visible only when you draw a selection box over them
or when you click Select All on the Edit menu.
CAUSE
This behavior is a side effect of the translation process. If a
slide contains a header or footer in these positions, the object
is a text box containing the text of the header and footer.
RESOLUTION
You can delete these objects safely. Their presence does not harm the
presentation and their absence has no effect on the integrity of the
presentation.
MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint 7.0 automatically places a page number field on every
page when page numbers are being used. These fields are translated as text
boxes when the presentation is saved in an earlier version format. Again,
it is safe to edit or remove these as necessary after translation to a
PowerPoint 4.0 or 3.0 file.
