PPT97: OLE Object Icon Doesn't Display at All Zoom Percentages

ID: Q190322


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows


SYMPTOMS

When you create a blank slide that contains OLE object placeholders and then zoom out to a small zoom percentage, the icons in the placeholders disappear. When you zoom in again, the icons reappear.

This effect is most noticeable with the Four Objects AutoLayout.


CAUSE

The icons that appear in placeholders always display the same size on your screen regardless of what zoom percentage you are using. PowerPoint does not display the icon if the image of your slide is so small that the icon doesn't fit entirely within its placeholder (there has to be room for the placeholder text, too). The placeholder text appears at all zoom percentages.
