PPT98: Outline of Comment Visible When Moving Grouped Objects (188472)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q188472 SYMPTOMS
If you group a Comment object with one or more objects and then move the
grouped objects using a drag and drop operation, the outline of the Comment
object is visible. This occurs even if you are hiding comments. (To show or
hide comments, click Comments on the View menu.)
CAUSE
When you use the drag and drop operation to move objects, PowerPoint shows
the outline for hidden comments if they are part of a group of visible
objects.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
In PowerPoint you can add comments--notes to yourself or others--to your
presentation. PowerPoint allows you to show or hide comments by clicking
the Comments command on the View menu. You should hide comments before you
show your presentation so that the audience does not see them.
If comments are hidden, you cannot select a Comment object. However, if
the comment is grouped with other objects that are visible, and you move
the group of objects, the outline of the comment appears. This behavior
does not cause the comment to become visible.
