• Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you change the fill color of the Title placeholder in slide master view, and then delete that placeholder, the fill color of the Title placeholder does not change.

This functionality is different from PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0.

CAUSE
