    - embedded XL sheet PPT2003->PPT2007 Hey all, I have been asked to investigate an issue we are having with our migration from PPT2003 to PPT2007. We have a lot of PPT docs in PPT2003 with embedded (not certain whether MS Graph or XL) sheets. It appears that when we open these in PPT2007 the embedded sheets become images and can no longer be opened and edited. I'm sure this has probably been asked before so can someone point me to information on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance, Lance Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391795

When I play the slide show, I get the error message "Microsoft office PowerPoint has stopped working...." at certain point. If I play the slide show very slow, the problem may not show up. If I remove the movies, it works fine. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? It seems this only happens in Windows Vista. I tried the same presentation on a Windows XP computer, it works fine.

I know this member exists since i can see it using OleView.

    - Executing Command Button Code Outside Of Presentation Mode I work with high slide count presentations (version 2007) where it will be useful to employ command buttons to jump to (select) slides while developing the document (not only during the presentation). Is there a way the buttons (code) can be made to execute outside of Presentation Mode ? I've tried this using Hyperlinks as well but it still requires selecting the hyperlink and right clicking to open the link . . . Not really what I'm looking for . . . Also, while I'm on the topic of created hyperlinks, how do I change the font color ? . . . Seems I can change the size but not the color ? Thanks for any info . . . Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391755

It seems that the default org chart allows you to change fill, font, and line color, but it won't allow me to have a rectangular box.

    - spacing issue with PP2007, not PP2003 Has anyone seen a problem with extra spacing somehow being injected into text boxes in PP2007? We have a branch office that just came onto our intranet. All the company presentations that they open in PP2007 appear to have an extra empty paragraph added to them that shoves the text upward in the text boxes. (Although placing the cursor at the end of the text in the text box and choosing delete does nothing.) However, when they open these same presentations in PP2003, they are fine and look as designed. I noticed a different post from someone on 6/12/08 that complained about stacked characters. There was mention about non-Microsoft certified printer drivers being the potential culprit. Is this maybe related to what our branch office might be experiencing? I appreciate any help on this. Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391736

    - Powerpoint 2007: Applying my saved theme causes a crash Hi, This is a similar problem to the following thread: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.powerpoint/browse_thread/thread/2536a8464dc00698/b926aea284c622f7?lnk=gst&q=theme+crash#b926aea284c622f7 Anbody got any fresh ideas on the following. I created a powerpoint presentation. I edited the master template to create a set of slides with different layouts and fixed graphics. I also set the colours and fonts to be used. I then went to themes and told Powerpoint to save the current theme. If I open a blank presentation and hover my mouse over the icon for my saved theme, Powerpoint tries to apply it. Powerpoint will then crash; something to do with ppcore.dll. You get the "Report and Recover my work" dialog. If I save my presentation as a template (dotx), I can create new presentations based on the template without any problems. The original presentation that the theme is based on will open/save/ close without issue. My best guess is that some component that is being referenced as part of the theme can't be read/executed and instead of telling me what, the software is crashing instead. Thanks for your help Dominic Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391702

    - Format Notes in Presenter View I am working on a presentation and have set it up to use the Presenter View. In the standard "edit" view, the text in my Notes section is formatted - bullets, indents, and numbers. However, in the Presenter View, all formatting is lost. And, since Presenter is a view, no editing can be done so I can't add in the formatting. Does anyone know of a way to keep the formatting from the edit view in the Presenter view? Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thank you, Pam -- Pam Davis, SAIC Contractor Center for Information Technologies National Institutes of Health Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391698

    - scripts and LiveWeb I keep getting a script error warning when running a webpage using LiveWeb in PowerPoint 2002 that I do not get when I run the same webpage directly in IE7. When I run that page using LiveWeb in PPT the error I get is a popup window that says: .............................. Internet Explorer Script Error An error has occurred in the script on this page Line: 16 Char: 1 Error: Object Expected Code: 0 Url: ...... Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? ............................... What is puzzling is that this is not really a Internet Explorer error because it does not occur when I open the page directly in IE7. Anyone know how I can stop this from happening? Even if I run PowerPoint 2002 with the security level set to Low, I get the same error, so that does not seem to be the problem. I checked the scripts and there does not seem to be anything I can see at a line 16. Jeff Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391686

    - PowerPoint opens 2 browsers in a hyperlink I teach my classes with Powerpoint 2007. I have extensive weblinks in my lectures, and I have made Firefox my default browser to open when I click on a URL within PowerPoint. I thought that I had gone in to PP and changed the default browser in PP, but either 1) I didn't, or 2) it is overriding my command----either way, it open BOTH browsers, Firefox and Explorer. Then I have to close 1 of the windows. This happens every time I click on a hyperlink to the web. This was never a problem in PP 2003. Can someone help me? Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391620

    - Problem using Liveweb for local files Hi I am using PowerPoint 2002 in Windows XP SP3 and recently downloaded and installed the "LiveWeb" PowerPoint addin. In trying it out, it works great showing WebPages on the web within PowerPoint. However, I need to use it to show some local html files on my HD and am running into difficulties doing that. The file I am trying to show is named: E:/website/index.htm In my default browser (Firefox 2.0.0.15) the url is file:///E:/website/index.htm if I add the page as the url file:///E:/website/index.htm , when I run the slideshow, I get an error message that says: "Cannot find 'file///E:///E:/website/index.htm....' If I add instead E:/website/index.htm , I now get a webpage that says: This program cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: a.. You are not connected to the Internet. b.. The website is encountering problems. c.. There might be a typing error in the address. What you can try: Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected. Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. More information: This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including: a.. Internet connectivity has been lost. b.. The website is temporarily unavailable. c.. The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. d.. The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. ............................. Questions: 1. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Even though I AM constantly connected to the internet, that is irrelevant because this file is not on the web but on my HD. How do I make LiveWeb load this local file for me? 2. Can LiveWeb be made to open the files in Firefox instead of IE7? (Has to do with permissions). Thank you. Jeff Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391616

    - How do I change the design template on one slide only I am creating a presentation with a different background for every slide. I don't know what happened, but every slide added after one particular slide seem to be coupled together. If I change the template of one slide, all the rest of the slides in the group change also. How do I make these slides independent of one another? Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391609

    - Page Down flips through several pages instead of just one There have been on several occassions when the presenter presses the page down button on the projector's remote, the slide flips through several pages instead of one. This has happened at the beginning and in the middle of a presentation--first half goes fine and then BAM page down flips through several slides. A user has reported this happening even when pressing the right arrow or page down key on the laptop's keyboard. Anybody come across this? This is killing me cause being a setup/support person for meetings/presentations, when that glitch happens in the middle of an important presentation or when the CEO is presenting, I just want to run and hide. Here are the specs: Powerpoint 2003 Projectors: Dell 3300MP, Dell 3200MP Laptops: HP 6710b, IBM T40 Presentations are ran in Slide Show mode Initially I thought it was the remote, but this has happened with both projectors and laptops. Only common variable I can think of is that Office SP2 and updates haven't been installed. Could that be it? I hope so. I've searched the internet and can't find a fix or any forums talking about this. Would it better to just use PowerPoint viewer instead? Could it be the presenter's power point file? This has happened with two different power point files. Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391591

    - Audio background 2 My apologies for the disjointed message sent earlier.. I'll try again I am using PowerPoint 2007 and still find it confusing compared with PowerPoint 2003. I prefer the menu item display in 2003 compared with the banner in 2007. Be that as it may, my problem is learning how to embed music in a PowerPoint file so others can hear the background music when they open the slideshow. As it is now, I can embed the background music but it only plays from my computer. When I send it as an attachment to others they aren't able to hear the music. What am I doing wrong? PowerPoint evidently refers to the location of the audio file when it is playing on my computer but doesn't embed the music file into the PowerPoint presentation. An added question. What formats can be used for the music files and is one better then the other. Is .wav better then .wmv? Thanks for any help you can give me. Tag: WMV in PowerPoint Tag: 391585

I wonder if the Plays for Certain add-in could help you. Check it out at
http://www.playsforcertain.com/

I'm pretty sure there is a free trial period so you can see if it helps
your problem before buying it.
