Lines in Powerpoint Drawing

[Mary L]

We have been created line drawings in PPT in Office 2000. We just started
using Office 2003, and have discoveredsome curved and angle lines are
displaying an additional "gray line" connecting the orginal lines. This
change occurs when we convert the drawings to CGM.. We do this by copying
the drawing to a drawing software (we use Micrographics) and then exporting
the file as CGM. It has worked like a charm in the past, but now I see
problems with any editing we do in PPT 2003. Thank you in advance for your
help.

Lines in PPT 2003 have antialiasing applied when you've viewing the slides,
but that shouldn't affect what you copy to Micrographics. Are you just
selecting the lines and copying them in PPT and pasting them into
Micrographics, or are you doing something else to get them there? (Like
maybe right-click, save as picture, choose EMF or WMF, import that EMF/WMF
into Micrographics.... Or maybe you could use EMF/WMF in place of the CGMs?)

Can you upload a screenshot of the additional gray line somewhere so we can
see what you're seeing?

Also, I'm not familiar with Micrographics. Do you perhaps mean Micrografx
(iGrafx)?

A dumb question ... could the gray line be a shadow effect that's being
applied by the template?
