Hello,

Can you provide us w/a little more information? Where did you ask us to
"correct this bug"? What do you mean by "Slanted text made with Windows
does look weid when opened with Mac powerpoint"?

When you're referring to "slanted text", are you are referring to an italic
or oblique version of a font? It would be helpful to provide repro steps
such as:
1. Start PowerPoint for Windows version xx SPx
2. Type some text and select it
3. Change font to _____ [please indicate which font]
4. Ctrl+I
5. Save file
6. Open file on Mac PowerPoint xx.x.x

Result:
?

If you're using an oblique or italic version of a font, are you sure that
the exact same font w/the same name exists on the Mac in question? Also, do
Word and Excel exhibit the same behavior?

Thanks,
Andrew

Also the bug in the Mac version of Powerpoint was not solved. Slanted
text made with Windows does look weid when opened with Mac powerpoint.
Remarkably when this windows PPT file is opened in Keynote the text is
ok AND when exported to Powerpoint for the Mac the slanted text is OK.
I asked Microsoft several times to correct this bug but the latest
update still contains this bug.

Hopefully installing the latest update to the Office suite for Mac, I
was sorely disappointed to note that PowerPoint still does not work
correctly on the Apple 30" Cinema Display at its native resolution of
2560x1600. Images are split in half, the bottom part of the picture
shown at the top of the screen. Downshifting to 1900x1200 "solves" the
problem... Can you get this fixed ASAP, Microsoft ?
