PPT2002: Embedded Object Has Cross-hatched Appearance in Slide View When You Edit (285475)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2002
This article was previously published under Q285475

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft PowerPoint, when you edit an embedded object, the slide view of the object has a cross-hatched appearance.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when the slide view cannot be updated while the embedded object is being edited. The slide view shows a cross-hatch pattern on the object when it is unable to reflect changes to the object until editing is complete.

RESOLUTION

This behavior resolves itself. After you finish editing the embedded object, and you select a different portion of the slide, the cross-hatch pattern disappears and the slide view reflects the changes to the embedded object.
