PPT97: Animated Object Icon Appears in Black and White on WinNT

• Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you insert an object into your presentation and display it as an icon, the correct colors are displayed in a Slide Show. However, once any animation is applied, the icon is displayed in black and white when viewed in a Slide Show.

This symptom occurs if you run the presentation on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.51 or 4.0. It does not matter which display settings you use. This symptom does not occur on Microsoft Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

Do not apply any animation effect to the object icon.
