This problem seems to be only associated with PowerPoint and not the other Office Apps.  Also, whenever I minimize the PowerPoint windows they will group together on my taskbar but little gray square boxes appear on the top left hand side of my screen.  It takes a bit of clicking around to get a different PowerPoint window to maximize after it has minimized as well.  Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the quick reply and info!  Hopefully these issues will be resolved in the next stable release perhaps?
