My laptop has PowerPoint 2000 & XP operating system. My
client has PowerPoint & Windows '97. When I insert a wmf
(windows mete file) image in PowerPoint 2000 the full
image appears. However when any of my clients '97 systems
view the same slides the images are clipped off on the
left side. How can this problem be fixed?

Thanks!

How did you insert the WMF? If you're using Insert, Object or drag/dropping
it, that might be the cause of the problem. Instead, do Insert, Picture,
From File and choose your WMF.

If that's what you're already doing, try this:

Select the WMF after you've inserted it
Right click it, choose Grouping from the popup menu, choose Ungroup from the
popup_that_pops_up_out_of_the_popup.
Praise the deity of your choice that there are no more levels of popups
Verify that the image still looks ok
Don't click on anything else or you'll lose the group selection
Rightclick any object in the group and choose Grouping, Regroup.
