Hello everyone,



Does anyone now why PowerPoint freeze when the "Shift" key is pressed and
try to put 2 times the sign = and > on a slide?

Example: ==>

The program gives automatically an arrow but hangs.



Any suggestion would be appreciated.



Thanks

Not sure why it is freezing, but try this instead:

Right-click the toolbar area and make sure the "Drawing" toolbar is open.
Click the "Autoshapes" icon, select "Block Arrows" and choose the one you
want.

Yes I now, that works the way you said, but the problem is that I've tried

Figured as much, but I thought it was worth a try. haven't read anything on
this particular problem, but if I run across anything, I will get back with
you.

Click to expand...

I was going to ask if you'd tried this; I imagine you use the French version
of PPT? Apparently the spelling checker that comes with it has some really
serious problems (as you know too well!)

Microsoft is definitely aware of the problem.
