PowerPoint v.X Display Glitches - Resizing text box

[Sally Shears]

I have display glitches in PowerPoint.

To demonstrate
- create a text box... I'm using Helvetica 12 bold
- type some text, a few lines. Everything looks good.
- select and delete some text so the text box shrinks to fewer lines.
- the old borders are left on the screen (see picture)
- to get rid of these glitches I do page-up and page-down to force a
re-draw.

Here's a picture of the slide window at 100% zoom with the problems:

I have the problem on Mac OS 10.2.7 on a brand-new Powerbook. But not
on a 10.2.8 Pismo.

Office has been updated to 10.1.5 on both machines.

What's causing this? How come the problem happens on G4 and not on
Pismo? How to get rid of the problem?

Hi Sally,

Now is the perfect time to send this in to Microsoft as a bug report. The
way to alert Microsoft to the problem is to use the feedback feature on
PowerPoint's Help menu.

Be sure to include the specifics about your hardware (processor speed, etc).
