    - Adding a presentation template to the presentations collection (C# Hi I am coding using Visual C#. I can add a Word 2007 document as a template to the documents collection like this: Word.Application w_app; Word._Document odoc; w_app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); odoc = w_app.Documents.Add(ref file, ref missing, ref missing, ref objFalse); I want to do the same for PowerPoint 2007. The Presentation.Add() method does not add a presentation template. How can I do this? Lucy Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide? Tag: 396966

    - linking pdf files to a PowerPoint presentation In Office 2007 Stan Hi . . . hope somebody can help. I have 4 pdf files linked to my powerpoint pres. They open in Reader as a result of clicking a menu item in the presentation. This seems to work fine. The presentation will be put on CD and used as a handout. I have embedded a music clip in the presentation that starts with the presentation and continues throughout the presentation, despite the number of times you click or return to the main menu, EXCEPT when I open one of these PDF files, it stops the music and it does not restart. At one point I had this working correctly so I know it is a possibility, but I have tried for hours to get the music to at least continue playing after I close the pdf, or better yet, while the pdf is opened, but I can't. What am I missing here? Thank you. I am desperate and do not want to give up on this especially after having it working at one point in time! Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide?

These are my presentations - how can I get rid of the warning message? -- WolverineMarty Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide? Tag: 396935

    - Newbie PPoint Questions Hi All: I hope that someone from this group can help with some basic questions. I've been asked to purchase a projector and lap top to be used for powerpoint presentations. I know very little about powerpoint or the projectors. I've got a couple of basic questions. - could I prep a presentation on my pc and save it to a disc/memory stick and use the projector to read and play the presentation, or do all projectors require input from a pc? - If I use a laptop to run the presentation what is the prefered method of connectivity to the projector. USB seems the easiest, but is component or s-video preferable and if so would most laptops come equiped to connect in this manner? Thanks for all replies.

    - Test Review Presentation I'm new to powerpoint design. I have a powerpoint now that is setup so that when the question and the distractors are shown, you can click on the slide again and the slide will appear again with the answer at the bottom ("Answer: A"). Somehow, this is not setup on a separate slide. The answer is there when in the edit mode but it doesn't show until you click on the slide again after the answer and distractors a shown. Any tuitorial on how to set that up? I've tried copying and changing the information on the slide but it doesn't work. Just comes up with the answer already there.

    - change size of powerpoint cursor Is there a plug-in or 3rd party app that will make the powerpoint cursor/arrow bigger? I know I can set it to Windows Large or Extra Large in the Mouse control panel but I would prefer something that can be toggled on/off from inside powerpoint. Ideally you could make the mouse bigger with the + key, smaller with the - key. I would be interested in VBA pointers if this can be done there too. thanks Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide? Tag: 396923

    - Adding Total Number of slides to the page number field in the footer I was looking for a feature in powerpoint that would be the equivalent to one that exists in MS Word. That is, in Word I can add a field in the footer to read "page 5 of 12". Powerpoint only seems to have the slide number. I suspect this might be where VBA comes in. Anyone have some sample code to do this? (That is if this is the solution path). thanks Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide? Tag: 396922

    - PPT 2007 - Insert Chart Object, white background comes up Hello! when I have inserted a chart object from a file into a slide, the background of the slide master shows through the chart object, which is what I want, but If I double-click to access the object for anything, it changes to a white background and won't change back - I have messed around with the No Fill vs. Automatic - which Automatic is what it is set to and the charts that I haven't messed with show up properly and the properties match when you right click and go to format object - does anyone have any suggestions?

    - Snapshot Viewer Control resize error I have snapshot views (.snp files) that were generated from Access. To make these viewable in Powerpoint, I add a Snapshot Viewer Control (from the control toolbox) on each slide and then associate them to the appropriate .snp file. The PROBLEM is that the snapshot viewer controls get bigger and bigger as you page back and forth between slides in the presentation and after a few times through block out all other content on the slides. I have tried numerous settings (Fill, Fit, different % sizes,etc...)...but have not figured out a way to keep the viewer control from resizing itself automatically..any ideas??

    - Why does timing go off in PP pres when published down to CD? Using Microsoft Office Professional 2007. My son made a powerpoint presentation for 4-H with slides and music (from Itunes). It works great on our PC - timing is perfect, but when he published the PP down to a CD, the timing is off with animation - there isn't enough time to read slides with writing on them.

After 5 minutes of inactivity (no mouse movement), the presentation automatically reverts to the first slide. I don't want this to occur. If art directors pause to discuss my photos and leave an image on the screen, they'd be annoyed if they had to start over from the beginning and find the spot where they were.

    - Formatting Issues Making PDF of PowerPoint Notes View Often times when we make a PDF of the Notes view in PowerPoint, the PDF has different line breaks than the actual PowerPoint file. So, if a soft return was used to move something to the next line, sometimes that return appears in the middle of a paragraph and creates a large amount of blank space in a paragraph.

It even goes missing on the presenters screen, not just the projector. Anyone have any ideas of what to check? I am guessing it is a problem with the HW... but thought I would see if anyone else has seen the problem as well. Tag: Change orientation of a single PowerPoint slide? Tag: 396837
