Narration and the mouse
Is it possible to record a PowerPoint presentation using "Recor
Narration" and have PowerPoint record the mouse movement on the scree
too.
I am trying to put together a presentation that explains the feature
of a new software program and I want to click through the screen shot
in an effort to make it look like the screen shots are the actua
program in action.
I know that I could record the presentation using Camtasia but I fin
that the video quality of the Camtaisia playback file is a lo
resolution and I need this presentation to sizzle.
thank you as always,
denn

repeated animation problem

restarts, only after the second click the slide changes. Tag: ALINA Tag: 386354
"X-out" an object after used with hyperlinks
Hey everyone,
I'm very familiar with hyperlinks and how to create them using Autoshapes.
Thing is, I've created a 'game' with a home page that has 20 Rectangle
autoshapes, all of which hyperlink to some place new. What I want to do is
create the hyperlinks in such a way that when a person clicks on it, and then
comes back to this main slide, the autoshape they clicked on is crossed out
with X, or made Red, or somethig similar. See, with text, when you click a
hyperlink, it changes color. But the autoshapes don't. So can I make an
autoshape change in color (or get crossed out) once it's used?
Thanks so much! Tag: ALINA Tag: 386352

office/Powerpoint 2007 free 60 day trial
I have just successfully downloaded this 60 day trial to my PC running xp. It
allows me to open the powerpoint page but when I try to add text or do
anything it says I must get a code and buy a full version to continue. I
thought a free trial was just that so why is it not allowing me to use it?
Any ideas please??!

Using Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library 12.0 at ASP.NET applicat
Hi,
In my ASP.NET application I need to generate powerpoint presentations
containg complex shapes and connectors in each slides. At first I tried with
Aspose. But due to its limitations I searched for other APIs. And finally I
found Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library 12.0 as the most usefull component
which have all the functionalities I need.
My questions:
1. Is it possible to deploy Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library 12.0 in
ASP.NET server where Office is not installed?
2. If so then how? Tag: ALINA Tag: 386314

multiple animated gifs
I have ppt 2002, and am trying to have multiple animated gifs on the same
page (overlapped). Basically, I have each one "appearing" on a mouse click,
and then doing it's animation without a loop, then another mouse click to
activate the next gif animation on top of the first (I am doing this with 8
gif animations). The weird thing is that the animation doesn't always work.
Sometimes as I mouse click the animated gif is already halfway through or
other times it is already at it's last image. The animated gif very rarely
starts and ends correctly. Tag: ALINA Tag: 386293

Freeform drawing preview colour in Powerpoint 2007
I use a black background for most of my presentations. In PPT 2003 drawing
with the freeform tool would preview in white before the shape was finalised
by double clicking. In PPT 2007 the preview is black and hence invisible
while drawing the freeform, so I can't see what I am drawing! The results
are usually entertaining. I can't find any option to change the contrast
colour of the freeform tool (in 2003 it appeared to change automatically so
was dark on a light background). Same seems to apply to the scribble and
curve tool. I can change the background colour, but this seems unnecessarily
clunky.
Any suggestions on how to modify this behaviour? Many thanks.

determining slide number and object/shape number
I'm using PPT 2007. I need to verify that I am referencing shapes and slides
by their correct number in my vba code. For the slide number, I am looking at
the slide number listed in the status bar in normal view of the slideshow.
For the shapes, I am looking at the number listed in the custom animation
pane for that shape or action button. Is this correct? I think I might be
using the wrong numbers in code, because I'm getting a message that says:
"Shapes(unknown member): Integer out of range. 15 is not in the valid range
of 1 to 13." Tag: ALINA Tag: 386244
placeholder types AND VSTO
Using the AddPlaceholder method of the shapes object allows the
creation of a placeholder shape on a slide. However, the available
placeholder types do not include types that are seen via the
InsertPlaceholder in the ribbon. For example, AddPlaceholder does not
have a ppPlaceholderClipArt to create a clip art placeholder although
a clip art type is available via the ribbon and ppPlaceHolderMixed
throws an error. What gives? Tag: ALINA Tag: 386242
vba code troubles
Does anyone see anything wrong with the following code? I have the
"PrepareSlide22" procedure tied to a picture using "Action Settings", but
nothing happens when I click the picture that this macro is tied to. The
picture that I am clicking is on slide 21. It does not cause the slideshow to
advance to the next slide (slide 22), which is what I want the
macro/procedure to accomplish. Am I doing something wrong here?
Dim correctCube As Integer
Sub PrepareSlide22()
Initialize
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next
End Sub
Sub Initialize()
correctCube = 0
ActivePresentation.Slides(22).Shapes(16).Visible = msoFalse

I cannot seem to place a macro on a customized toolbar in PowerPoint 2003. I

Appreciate if you could provide the steps necessary to perform this action.

Click, 2) With Previous, and 3) After Previous. I'm not understanding how to
select these options? Please explain.

PowerPoint Presentation Reverted Back To Previously Saved Version
My wife is working on a project and lost several hours of work. Don't know
exactly what happened, but here's what I know, based on what she told me...
---She's been working on it for weeks.
---When she started Sunday morning it was 14 pages long.
---After working on/off throughout the day it was 22 pages long.
---She regularly saves her work. She won't even minimize it without saving.
---Late Sunday night she opened it and it was exactly as it was when she
started that morning. Everything she did that day is gone.
---There was no crash, so no autorecovery.
I searched all drives for PowerPoint files and could not find any other than
the 14-page version. Also searched for templates and webfiles to see if she
accidentally saved as one of those, but no luck. When she saves she simply
hits the save button. AutoSave is set for every 10 minutes but can't find
any files.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Reduce Filesize
Hi !
Weekly I send a Powerpoint report by mail with a lot of pictures. I use the
same file every week, but I replace most of the pictures with new once.
The file size have increased to twice as the orginal size, because of the
'Maximum numbers of undo' is set to 10.
I can set this to 3 or 5, but it's still a problem.
Now I wonder if anyone now if it's possible to empty the Undo-cache memory
by using VBA code.

Custom Autoshapes
I'm looking to create a custom autoshape group and type in PowerPoint 2003.
Is there any way to do this such that users can access the same autoshape
menu and now see my new group/shapes? I realize that I can add a button or
other means to create custom autoshapes, but I wanted to maintain a
consistent experience for my users.

and wanted to take a shot at the PPT newsgroup to see if anyone here had any
suggestions.

from multiple pics
I have been sent a few JPG files. In each file has been scanned a lot of
photos (as many as would fit on a scanner window), instead of sending me the
photos each with its own file.
I have tried "highlighting" one photo, did COPY and want to paste it on a
slide, but it won't let me do that.
Would I have to separate each photo into its own file name, then do "insert
file" (into Powerpoint) with each picture. That would take forever.
Please tell me there is an easier way? Thanks for any help.

Adding a Video Attract Loop to beginning of PPT presentation

animation ppt2003
My 5th grade students created digital narratives using powerpoint 2003. I
have combined each individual slide show into one long one so I can show them
at the annual Art Show (I'm an art teacher) as a continuous ongoing show
during the night.
Here's my problem: the individual animation schemes from slide group to
slide group differ; however in the animation command box you have to "apply
to all", which means all the seperate slide groups have to have the same
animation, evan if they are not selected.
Is there a way around this? The art show is May 8th and I would like to fix
this problem by then.

video/audio file portable issue
Hi,
Need some help desprately as the deadline for this project is appraching.
I'm doing a pp presentation with a large amount of audio/video files. The
video/audio files were created using a common av software and then inserted
into the slides. When the project was done I burned the final pps and
associated video audio files on a CD. I had to modify the slides so they
could link to the embedded files, which are now on the D drive, my CD drive.
So far everything is fine. Then here's the problem. I moved to another
computer which has its CD drive as E: (the new vista system has D occupied as
'Data' - what the heck is that?). The pps wouldn't work (!!!) - it's still
searching for the av files from D drive. Because I don't know what drive the
recipient of this project has as their CD drive, I am risking sending them
something that's not playable. I've been trying to figure out something to
solve the problem but couldn't, - very frustrated. Could anyone please help
out? Thanks very much in advance for your help! Tag: ALINA Tag: 386164
