Last reviewed: February 6, 1998
Article ID: Q129070
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

If you are in-place ("in situ") editing a Microsoft Graph object while in Word for Windows NT and you press ALT+TAB to go to Microsoft Access and then press ALT+TAB to return to Word, there may be a long delay while the in-place editing of Microsoft Graph is being redrawn.

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

Edit the graph in a window instead of using the in-place editing by following these steps:

  1. Click on the graph once, so that it is selected.

  2. From the Edit menu, choose Microsoft Graph Object, and then choose Open.

  3. Edit the Graph object.

  4. When you are done editing the graph, choose Exit And Return To Document from the File menu in Graph.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
