    - Page Numbers - Handouts -PowerPoint 2003 vs. 2007 I am experiencing a STRANGE compatibility issue between my customer (PowerPoint 2003) and my (PowerPoint 2007) slide shows. I am saving the presentation as .ppt, but the Page Number keeps disappearing on the handout master. To replicate the error. 1. Create a new presentation in PowerPoint 2007 2. Include a page number on the handout master 3. Add a slide to the presentation 4. Print Preview, Handouts, verify the page number is present 5. Save as test.ptt (PowerPoint 97 -2003 version) 6. Send the file to someone using PowerPoint 2003 7. Open the file in PowerPoint 2003 8. Add a new page 9. Print Preview, Handouts Every time the file is passed/opened between the different version of PowerPoint, the page number will VANISH on the handout page for the user on PowerPoint 2003. The page number will still be visible for the person using PowerPoint 2007. This happens even though you're forcing the file to be saved as .ppt vice .pptx I installed the compatibility pack on my Office 2003 machine and the error still exists. Any ideas??

    - Server application, etc., cannot be found. My client sent a ppt twice. Both times I get what I've researched is a not uncommon dialogue. "The service application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application." I've a Mac with PPT v 11.3.5 and the latest updates. No idea about his. Never seen this before myself, but noted it, usually, in a several year old discussion. What advice can I offer him to fix this? Thank you.

I can see the Presenter add-in (.ppa) when I go Tools>Add-Ins, but although I can select it, it does not appear in the .ppa file name box, so I can't add it. Anyone know why please? Macco.

    - Can't use full space of line for text This is a wierd one. While make a new column chart, the words for a column descriptor wouldn't use all the space of a line properly. So instead of doing it in the chart, I figured I would use a single row table to put in my column decriptors, but I run into the same issue. It looks like this: Recommend the use of Participate in future Company programs Company products/solutions such as to colleagues or peers events, webcasts, newsletters, etc. The first cell works fine - but the second cell won't use the rest of the "such as" line no matter what I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Paul Tag: Powerpoint Macro created in Office 2003 Tag: 382336

    - Bullets, tabs, and outline function not working in Powerpoint 200. Bullets behave erratically. For example, my colleague and I work back and forth on the same document and when I send her changes I have made that appear correct in my document, bullets that are sub to the main topic sentence in the text frame jump to the right for no apparent reason. I closed and then re-opened the same document and the same thing happened to me. I cannot then fix it using promote or demote and the corruption often gets worse with each attempt. I tried using my original install disk to repair my Office installation but that did not change anything. I am contemplating a total Office reinstall but this installation is only several weeks old so I fear that will not fix it. Suggestions? Tag: Powerpoint Macro created in Office 2003 Tag: 382334

    - How do I add animation before master slide animations? I have a master bullets slide that is set up with the desired text line animations. The text ani works fine on each bullet slide that is created. But, unlike 2003, I can't seem to be able to add an objects (say, photos) to the slide and have them animate into the slide BEFORE the bullet text animation. In PP 2003, it was simply done by changing the animation order of objects -- but now the bullet text (a master slide component) is grayed out in the animation order list so there appears to be no way to bump any animations ahead of the master slide animation elements. Can someone tell me if it is still possible to do this, and how? Thanks much. Tag: Powerpoint Macro created in Office 2003 Tag: 382324

    - Need Help on PowerPoint2007 I just upgraded from PowerPoint2003 to PowerPoint2007. I am having problems performing functions on PowerPoint 2007 that I used to be able to do on PowerPoint2003. Could you tell me how to do the following on PowerPoint 2007: 1. I have set up my Title Page 2. I have set up my design format on my next slide along with the font color of the text that I want as well as the animation I desire 3. Now I want all of the remaining slides that I do to be in the same format in design, text color and animation. How do I preset my presentation so that the succeeding design, text color and animation automatically comes up on each successive screen so I do not have to make these changes manually on each screen?

    - Page snaps to centre when adjusting shapes in "zoomed in editing" I can no longer tolerate this in Powerpoint 2007. When adjusting a freeform shape point by point, each adjustment snaps the view to the centre of the object. The point you were editing is now off screen and you have to go look for it. This didn't happen in 2003 version. What used to take seconds now takes many minutes. What a stupid behaviour this is. Microsoft's help database is useless on this. Anyone got a fix?

    - .SWF files are not friendly in Powerpoint 2003 The .swf file functionality needs fixing in Powerpoint 2003 (likely 2007 too). I have no problem adding them to a presentation. It is getting them to automatically play in whatever the mode e.g. normal, slideshow, etc.. The first time it is added and played via slideshow, no problem. After that I have to manually play the .swf in slideshow mode. Therefore, given I have a wide audience I distribute the presentation (and I know the audience will not select 'Play' for each .swf) I now must save it as a picture and then insert into the preso thereby losing all my .swf functionality. stinks! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Save a pres with a macro in 2007 as a .ppt file and the macro will run in
earlier versions but not in 2007 (well not here anyway) BUT open it in 2007
and resave as a .pptm and all is well again.
