Hi Andrey. See the powerdot list archive, it was discussed a few times. Yuri Krvavych provided a solution which worked for me, but I still use MikTeX 2.7. //www.freelists.org/post/powerdot/CTAN-version-13-or-unofficial-14,1 Cheers, Petr Posik > -----Original Message----- > From: powerdot-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:powerdot- > bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrey Grabovsky > Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 8:40 PM > To: powerdot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [powerdot] MiK Tex 2.8 first slide problem > > Hello, > > I have a remark. > > I've been happily using Powerdot for several years.
