Graphs that are created on the PC in PPT’97 (using PowerPoint’s Graphs or Excel Charts) sometimes have translation problems when these files are opened on the Mac in PPT’98. There is a bug that shows up in build charts with blended fills. If you experience this bug, try taking the fills out, and the builds should then work properly. Other chart translation problems can be solved by double-clicking on the chart (in Mac PowerPoint ’98), which opens them up in Graphing module, and then clicking “off” the chart to go back to PowerPoint. This will solve the problem for the Macintosh file, but alas, if it is a file that PC users want to share with Mac users here and there (and having two versions is impractical) you are out of luck. Microsoft is aware of these bugs.
