Hi there

When I play my presentation, the slides that have a - (minus sign) in the
title show up nasty.
Title 36 pt, Arial

Anyone have an idea?

regards,

peter
 
Sonia,

Suppose this is my title:

Global investment - by region

The 2nd t from investment and the minus sign show up at the same place and
the spacing between investment and by is wrong.

Shouldn't the "minus sign" really be an em-dash? If so, use ALT+0151 to
insert an em-dash.

Hello Eric,

If you have a sample slide (unmodified) which exhibits this problem, I
would be glad to have testing look at it to determine whether or not it's a
known issue or something new.

Just send it to me at the following address (after unscrambling) with the
word NEWSGROUP at the beginning of the e-mail title/subject line:
