Slide master Bug in 2003

[Larry Bowers]

I will do my best to explain so please bear with me. We
had a user using powerpoint 2000 submit a presentation to
someone running Office 2003. When the presentation is
opened in 2003 some of the slides (3or 4 out of 45) have
the header image mirrored. When I look at the slide
master the header image (our logo) is also backwards, yet
when I open the same presentation on the original machine
(Office 2000) everything looks fine. I have tested this
and have recreated the problem on several office 2003
machines and see the same issue.

What could cause this in Powerpoint 2003? Compatability
issues? Are there multiple slide masters? I have since
opened this presentation on three other machines running
office 2K and it appears to be fine.

Is this a bug or a known issue and is there a workaround?
Please also respond via email if possible.

Thank you.

This is a known bug in PowerPoint 97 and 2000 that doesn't occur in
PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. You can use the free add-in at
http://www.mvps.org/skp/unflip.htm to "unflip" the image(s).

Larry,

If you can recreate it, then that is excellent! Would you be able, please,
to document how it is happening and email that to me with a sample
presentation? Then we can get it investigated.

Sonia,

Of course. I didn't read the bit about "image".
