Animated Clip Arts
I don't believe I have ever been more frustrated! I am sure it is me not
understanding something but....
I downloaded some animated clip arts from the microsoft website. I am
running Windows XP and Office 2007. WHY is it that the clip arts are not
MOVING in the powerpoint presentation? Yes, they are moving in the Clip Art
Organizer...but I want them to move in my presentation!
HELP!

clear formatting option?
Is there a way to â??clear formattingâ?? from Power Point content. (Iâ??m thinking
like a clear formatting choice that MS Word has.)
We have recently started working in PP2007 across our company, moving away
from PP97. We are having some inconsistent results when applying the newest
corporate PP template. I am suspicious that there is â??sticky residueâ?? from
PP97 that is clinging to the content and causing grief.
If anyone has a good technique for dealing with this, it would be appreciated.

Importing Org Charts from 2003 to 2007
A lady in our office is having a heck of a time making edits to them. It
looks like they completely rewrote the org chart engine, so you have to
either convert them to shapes (rendering them uneditable as org charts) or to
â??smartâ?? art (which completely changes the look and feel of the chart and
brings with it all of smart artâ??s annoying quirks). Tag: mp 4 to wmv Tag: 391453
Chart Title
In PowerPoint 2007 I created a chart and want to modify the box the title was

SourceFullName error PowerPoint Office 2007 sp 1
Hi,
We are trying to update the value of SourceFullName for a PowerPoint 2007
presentation link to an OLE, paste special, Excel chart.
The problem we have is on some machines we get the error below when the
value given to 'SourceFullName' does not point to a valid file but on other
machines it accepts the value.
Method 'SourceFullName' of object 'LinkFormat' failed.
With error number -214467259
My question hence, is there a way where we can turn off the check when
setting 'SourceFullName'? Or is there a windows update or known setting that
modifies the behaviour.
At the moment we know on some machines this check is happening but on others
it is not. We have tested under XP sp 3 and Vista sp 1 and we are running
Office 2007 sp 1. We have both XP and Vista machines showing the duality, it
would be nice to find out what is setting this behaviour, what we do observe
is that appears to be at a machine level. Tag: mp 4 to wmv Tag: 391442
Excel in Powerpoint
Hi,
I have a power point presentation that has many slides with embedded Excel
files which are pulling data directly from Hyperion - however, as many of the
slide are showing the same information, rather than having each slide linked
to Hyperion I would rather link the Embedded Excel file to another embedded
excel file within the same PPT document - ie link an excel file on slide 3 to
an excel file in slide 5 so everytime there is a chnage to one number I dont
have to update mulitple slides, I can just update 1 slide and know the
changes flow through onto all the other slides - is this possible?

Powerpoint 2007 always prompts UAC
When I start Powerpoint 2007 I'm prompted by Vistas UAC: "A program needs
your permission to continue (= Powerpoint)". It started after installing the
programs to convert Powerpoint to flash / creating screencast.
I have been testing different tools for producing screencasts and converting
Powerpoint to flash/video. Among them I have bought and installed Adobe
Articultate and Camtasia Studio. Others I have tried is Wondershare
PPT2flash, Articulate Presenter and AuthorPoint.
Now ALL programs have been uninstalled again, but UAC is still prompting
when starting Powerpoint.
The UAC prompt is REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying, so I have cleaned my PC -
with no luck. I have
* uninstalled all relevant programs
* checked for addins in Powerpoint
* checked in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ADDINS
* checked C:\users\%user%\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns
* searched the registry and removed leftover keys and hives
* repaired the Office installation (one hour!)
- and spent to much time on this s+++. I have tried Camtasia support (great
guys), searched http://www.sameshow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3290 (no
answer: "UAC is good!"), sent a question to Adobe support (no answer yet) -
and searched the net.
Where/how to stop the AUC prompt? (and no: I don't want to stop using UAC).
I run Vista Business UK and Office 2007 (DK).
Hope to hear from one of the wizards out there,

Sizing photos for slide presnetation.
I have approximately thirty slides that I have inserted into a presentation.
However, some slides are being cut off a the top, the sides and do not fit
the window. I right clicked the photos and resized by the "scale to fit the
window" but the photos look so small. When I am looking at the screen, is
that what the presentation is going to look like? I plan on showing this
presentation with my laptop and a projector on a 100 inch screen. I do not
want the photos to be too large or too small. Is there a standard size? Or
does it look better to have a variety of sized to mix up the presentation? Tag: mp 4 to wmv Tag: 391431

Switching presentation and editing screen?
I have a laptop with an external, bigger screen.
When the computer is docked, the external screen is my main screen (i.e.
the screen with the taskbar or screen 1), the laptop is the secondary
screen.
When I switch powerpoint to presentation mode, for some reason it
displays the slides fullscreen on the laptops built-in screen (i.e. the
secondary screen), while on the primary screen it still shows PPT in
editing mode. This is quite nice for *developing* a presentation, but
when I want to *show* the presentation, be it to someone in the
office, or if I attach a beamer to present, then I of course would
like to see the presentation on the external screen or beamer and
the editing window and speaker notes on the laptop's built-in
panel.
Can one somehow tell powerpoint to switch these two?

Insert video clip object
I reguarily insert movies from file (wmv) into Powerpoint 2000. So I am
very familiar with the limitations and vagiaries such as having to use an
absolute address that must be shorter than ca 128 characters. And that if
you move the presentation ensuring that the movie file is in the same folder
as the presentation. etc.
Now I wish to insert an AVI file as a Video clip using Insert Object. This
works fine when you don't move anything. But I need to transport it to
another computer so the absolute location will not be the same. Do the same,
or similar, restrictions apply to this process as do for the movie file
situation? If not what constraints do apply. My first attempt at moving
the presentation and video failed - the video couldn't be located.
Guidance would be welcome.

ppt 07 VBA compatability with ppt 03
I have code that runs during an active presentation. I recently tested the
code using a friend's PPT 07. The code ran fine with one exception.
There is an embedded picture (enhanced meta format) that generated an error.
The vba code rotates the picture. The error was that the picture was not
found within the shapes collection. I found the shape listed among the other
shapes and groups. I could rename the picture but I got the same error.
I tried a quick cut and paste to see if a newly embedded picture would be
found, but no joy. The picture was created from a grouped autoshape. The
autoshape was copied and then pasted special in enhanced meta format.
Did I get the error because pictures in PPT 07 are in a different collection?
Or, did the error derive from a difference in enh meta format between the 2
ppt versions?
' The next several lines place and rotate the picture 931
' picture 931 is in enhanced meta file format.
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Rotation
= Hdg
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Left =
(XPosAbs_1 -ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture

ppt 03 Use vba to find & extract a value fm an embedded excel work
Steve and Brian,
Back in Jan of this year you assisted me with the vba code to find and
extract a value from a ppt table. At that time, Brian stated that he
preferred to use excel spreadsheets vice ppt tables.
So... Brian how do I code to search an embedded excel worksheet for a
specific value while running a presentation. I don't want to open excel.
I am currently using vba controls to allow the user change various values
during the presentation. Based on these values, I do some calculations.
The spreadsheet could eventually run to 1400 lines. The user entered values
designate row and colunm values.

Animation Appear-Hide-Appear sequence
I have dozens of technical presentations developed with Powerpoint 2000. When
imported into Powerpoint 2007, the Appear-Hide-Appear animations have about a
one second delay between "Hide on next mouse click" and "Appear". In ppt 2000
there was no delay. In ppt 2007 there is a delay and this destroys the
effect.
I have tried everything I know and have talked to the first level of
Microsoft Powerpoint technical support and they don't know how to fix this.
The case is still open, but I am just going in a circular dance with them.
I do know how to work-around this by creating many more sequential slides
rather than relying on animations, but this would be very time consuming
re-developing all of my presentations, and it would make all of my
presentations much larger in file size. If there is not a fix, then I would
have to make about 300 CD-R's to send to all of the technical trainers across
North America with the corrected effects.
This has become a nightmare for me. By the end of August, all employees are
required to have made the transition from Office 2000 to Office 2007.
Has anyone had to deal with this issue and discovered the fix?

Inserting a movie file into a powerpoint presentation - Windows VISTA
I have been creating powerpoint presentations for some years now and have
come across the following problem and would be grateful for any suggestions
please.
My latest presentation for my employer, consists of 56 slides, and on 6 of
these I've tried attaching 'movie' files (via: insert menu - movie clip -
from file - clip). These are movies ranging in size from 18,000KB to
51,000KB that I have created/filmed myself on a digital (Canon) camera,
downloaded to my PC using the accompanying camera software and these have
saved automatically in the following format '.avi'.
I have successfully 'inserted' these files/movies into my presentation and
they function perfectly, with the following exception, there is a problem
with synchronisation between the sound (corresponding sound files to movie
files are also saved to the PC/laptop) and the image I'm seeing on the
screen.
I've spent many hours on the phone trying to get tech support from Microsoft
directly, but they cannot seem to isolate the problem. I have recreated the
presentation from scratch at least half a dozen times and only once, managed
to get the whole thing synchronised and running properly on my PC, then
saved the presentation, movie and sound files to a USB and transferred it
all to the laptop and once again, I have the time lapse between sound and
image.
I'd be very grateful for any help or suggestions.
Many thanks.
