PPT97: Slide Miniature Disappears if Dragged to Taskbar

ID: Q190390

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

If you drag the slide miniature window to the taskbar, it is difficult to select the window to drag it back to the PowerPoint workspace.

CAUSE

If you drag the slide miniature window to the taskbar, it actually goes behind the taskbar. When you try to click it, you select the taskbar instead.

WORKAROUND

If you close PowerPoint and restart it, the slide miniature window appears within the PowerPoint workspace again.

You can also drag the Windows 95 taskbar to another edge of your screen. Then you can select the slide miniature and move it.

Alternatively, you can configure the Windows 95 taskbar to Auto hide:

1. Right-click a blank area of the Taskbar, and then click Properties on 

   the menu that appears.
2. Click to select the Auto hide check box.

3. Click OK.

Now the taskbar shrinks to a narrow bar and you can select your Slide Miniature.
