PPT2000: Underline of Animated Underlined Words Is Too Big

ID: Q218549

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you apply an animation to an underlined word, such as the crawl animation, the underline may appear too big for the letters of the underlined word.

CAUSE

PowerPoint renders underlines to the screen separately, not together with the text. Therefore the portion of the underline animated with each character might appear to be larger than the character.

WORKAROUND

When you have underlined text, use an animation that renders quickly. By doing so, the animation will move too quickly for you to notice the underlines are larger than the individual characters. Specifically, use the following animations when you have underlined text:

Fly
Appear
Blinds
Box
Checkerboard
Dissolve
Flash Once
Peek
Random Bars
Split
Stretch
Strips
Wipe
Zoom

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
