PPT2000: Strings Do Not Appear in Outlook Messages When You Copy and Paste Them from PowerPoint (320522)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

This article was previously published under Q320522

SYMPTOMS

If you copy and paste strings from PowerPoint 2000 to a Microsoft Outlook message that is in HTML format, the strings do not appear in the message.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the first time that you copy and paste strings from PowerPoint 2000 to an HTML message, there is a <SPAN> tag after the pasted strings, which has "DISPLAY:none" as the style. The next time that the strings are pasted in an HTML message or if you paste new strings in an HTML message, the strings inherit the "DISPLAY:none" style from the <SPAN> tags. This inherited "DISPLAY:none" style from the <SPAN> tag does not allow the pasted or inputted strings to appear.
