THANKS for posting this, Stephen. A number of people have reported this or
similar sounding problems, but as Linda mentions, it happens on some computers but
not all. We haven't been able to repro it, much less find a fix.

This is good news.

Hi Linda144,
I have just had the exact problem you described. The fix for me was to
install the latest graphics card driver. I downloaded mine from the Dell web
site, but I guess there will be a similar site for your own computer.

I installed the updated driver, rebooted, and hey presto, the presentation
worked on my computer correctly.

I hope this helps.

When I open a graph (making changes or not), when it is closed, the fonts
(axis and display labels) appear distroted, bolder and stretched / squished /
thicker. Nothing I do can then fix the chart. I have checked that all auto
settings both on and off and all are now off (e.g. autoscaling, etc.) To fix,
I send the same document to another computer and all the user has to do is
open and close the graph and the fonts are fixed. I do hundreds of graphs
and this is a real issue. (Powerpoint 2003). Have downloaded all updates,
checked all versions of all software, etc.

Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks. Regards, Linda
