The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft WordArt for Windows 95, versions 2.51 and 3.0
  • Microsoft WordArt for Windows, version 2.0
  • Microsoft WordArt for the Macintosh, version 2.0
  • Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0

  • Microsoft Office for the Macintosh, versions 4.2, 4.2.1

SYMPTOMS

If you create a WordArt object that uses one of the following shapes, clicking the Even Height (Ee) button won't change the height of the character: 

   Arch Up (Curve)
   Arch Down (Curve)
   Circle (Curve)
   Button (Curve)
In other circumstances, clicking the Even Height button causes every character to be stretched and moved to be the same height and have the same baseline.

RESOLUTION

If you want to use this special effect, use the following WordArt shapes instead of the ones listed above: 

   Arch Up (Pour)
   Arch Down (Pour)
   Circle (Pour)
   Button (Pour)
The Even Height button does work correctly with these shapes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in WordArt versions 2.0, 2.51 and 3.0 for Macintosh, Windows and Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
