Animation Sequence starting on 1st slide not 12th
Hi All,
I have a 15 slide presentation with the 12th slide having an animation
sequence that loops.
It works great, but when I run the presentation, it starts on the 12th
slide and then it ignors all the slides before. Also, mouse click
won't get me out of the 12th slide to finish the presentation.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks,

applying multiple slide masters in a presentation
Hello:
I am using two basic slide layouts in my presentation: one with one large
text box, and one with two side-by-side half-size text boxes. I would like
to apply a separate slide master to either layout. However, while the "one
large text box" slide master seems to apply okay (I think it is the default),
I cannot figure out how to apply the "two side-by-side half-size text boxes"
one when I make a slide of the other layout. I think, perhaps, that what I
am missing is some way to choose a slide layout and then make a slide master
specifically for that layout. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using
PPT 2003.
Thank you,

PPT screenshow on extended desktop?
(I tried first on the XP group, but no answer - maybe I asked the wrong
people, so I'm trying here.)
With XP Pro, I extended my desktop onto a second screen.
Then I opened PowerPoint, opened a PPT-2003 file, and moved it over to
the second screen to work on it.
At some point I clicked "Screen Show", and the screen show came up on
... the first screen.
Why didn't it come up on the second screen, and is there anything I can
do to get it onto the second screen?
(This actually has practical applications -- I tried to use the extended
desktop technique to attach a projector as the second screen - but if I
can't get the screen show to appear on the second screen, then, well,
forget that idea.)
Thanks for any insights,

Lost data from chart created via VBA from excel.
PROBLEM REPORT
Powerpoint version now in use: 2003
Version the file was created in or opened in since, if any: 2003
Windows version: XP
Other hardware involved (printer, etc): none
Description of problem:
We are using VBA in Excel to build powerpoint presentation with data from
in the spreadsheet. After a step through the vba code we determined that the
saving action is causing the data inserted intot the bar charts to disappear.
We are able to see the charts after saving the presentaion but the charts
disappear once we click on them to access the data (they do not come back if
we save changes to ppt after clicking the graph). This only happens with
graphs, all other objects populated in the same way are fine.
When I do this: click on graph
Here's what happens (include text of any error messages that appear):
no error messages appear, the data used to populate the bar graph
disappears and so does the graph (since there is no data to be displayed)
or
Here's what I expect to happen, but it doesn't:
Here's what I've already tried to solve the problem: used variables to
populated datasheet in the ppt, then tried using copy and paste. Tag: Maximum size for ppt medical poster? Tag: 397601
Retrieve background pic
IS it possible to retrieve background pic programatically ? after we insert a

only replace it with another pic , I couldn't find any VBA method to access

Tool bar question
Well it's not really the tool bar, don't know what to call it!
Down at the bottom of the screen when you're editing a slide, the
bottom-most bar says "Slide X of Y" on the left side, then there's another
box to its right. A presentation I'm working on has the word "RISK" there
somehow, and I don't know how to get to it to get rid of it. Likely no one
would ever really see it since you'd just hit "run slideshow", but just the
same I'd like to remove the word. The original presentation was created by
someone else, so it wasn't something I did to add the word.
Sorry that I can't come up with a better descriptor of this...if I could add
a picture I could explain it much better!
Thanks in advance for any ideas. Tag: Maximum size for ppt medical poster? Tag: 397539

Two (Asst.) Heads Share Three Subordinates...
I'm using Power Point 2003 and I don't have much experience with Power Point.
I'm starting with the Chief. As subordinates of the Chief there are two
Assistant Chiefs. Off the two Assistant Chiefs there are three Corporals.
That's where my problem begins. The three Corporals each have a number of
Patrol Officers that answer to them, but the Corporals answer equally to the
two Assistant Chiefs. I want a connector line from each Assistant Chief
drawn to the three Corporals and I want everything centered and balanced.
I can create two subordinate Corporals from one Assistant Chief and one
subordinate Corporal from the other Assistant Chief, but then everything
looks off balance that way. I want the Patrol Officers (co-workers) added as
subordinates to the same boss so that they will branch vertically in columns
and I can do that. Again, where I am having trouble is between the two
Assistant Chiefs and three Corporals. Tag: Maximum size for ppt medical poster? Tag: 397501

can't identify one specific shape that is always the title shape. Any

where the 5 would normally start out, then everything else would be shifted

edit (ungroup) excel chart in powerpoint 2007
Hello,
I'm using the trial version of Office 2007 (and looking forward to probably
upgrading back to 2003). I used to be able to paste an excel chart into
powerpoint, right click to ungroup all the chart elements and then edit as I
please. How is this done in 2007? The chart pasted into powerpoint remains an
excel chart and I have access only to the editing options available for a
chart, which are insufficient for my needs. Perhaps one option would be to
first paste the chart into photoshop or some other graphics program but I
need to be able to edit/move individual elements of the chart and not have it
treated as a single graphic.
