    - 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, Bent Tag: Excel in Powerpoint Tag: 391432

    - 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: Excel in Powerpoint 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? Michael Tag: Excel in Powerpoint Tag: 391429

    - 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. TIA Chris Tag: Excel in Powerpoint Tag: 391422

    - 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 931").Width / 2) ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Top = (YPosAbs_1 - ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Height / 2) -- Any help would be appreciated.

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.

    - 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. NDH Tag: Excel in Powerpoint Tag: 391338

    - Saving information from a series of sets of option buttons Hi, I'm running an experiment in powerpoint where after a set of slides, I need people to respond to a question about what they've just seen. This is repeated several times, each time requiring a response. I've set this up with (in the simplest case) a pair of 'Yes' and 'No' option buttons. Unfortunately, when I test run the presentation, filling in each selection, only the last slide containing option buttons retains the selection - the others are blank. I know there could be several reasons for this, and I would normally trawl through the tutorials and forums, but I'm really under time pressure, and since a quick look hasn't helped I thought I'd just ask! The first thing I thought may have caused problems is that I've copied and pasted the slides (since there are 48 repetitions), so the option buttons have the same names on all the slides. However, I've tried calling them different things, and this hasn't helped. More fundamentally, I haven't saved the presentation including macros. I was hoping they wouldn't be necessary, since I don't want powerpoint to do anything with the information from the options, just to have the value property set to true or false, and I was hoping to save people the confusion of allowing macros to run. However, I understand this may be a necessary complication. If I do need to include macros, could someone clarify whether or not I would need to give each option button a unique name, or whether the fact that they are on different slides will suffice. Also, can anyone suggest a simple code to save the information within the presentation? I'm happy to manually get the results rather than have an output file, since this will be done on people's home computers and so creating and saving an output file would probably be too messy, but I do need all the option button sets to retain their information throughout the presentation and save it when the file is saved, so that I can access it later. I hope I'm being clear, I'm worried I'm not. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Kate Tag: Excel in Powerpoint Tag: 391286

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?

Thanks

No, afraid not. You could link from PPT to one or more external XLS files
though. That'd do what you're after, but you'd have to make sure that the
linked file travels with the PPT.
