I am assuming that it is doing it on your PC and that the author does not have frame maker. If that is the case I would ask the author what font they're using in that part of the PowerPoint text, and make sure you have that font as well.

Windows true type fonts also have information describing the font being used. So, if the font does not exist, the software grabs something that it thinks might be pretty close, but may not format exactly right.

>An author has supplied a PowerPoint figure which when pasted into Adobe FrameMaker/Illustrator changes. It even changes if I paste it into a blank PowerPoint file. The text spreads so that it runs on to two lines and also no longer lines up with the boxes below. The font is Courier 9pt.

>The text is like the following:
>HVEM 266-275 T V A V E E T I P S
>
>which in FrameMaker looks like:
>HVEM 266-275 T V A V E E T I
>P S
>
>Can anyone suggest why the text moves and how I can see the figure in PowerPoint as it will appear in FrameMaker? Has the author been able to increase character spacing in some way (a function which FM doesn't support?)?
>
>Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
