    - Slide Timing Frankly, I'm embarrassed to share this but.....I have a rather large slide show in process. All the slides had various lengths of times that they were to stay before transitioning on to the following slide. I apparently, unwittingly, changed all the timings back to 10 seconds. I'm willing to pay the "stupid tax" on my error and go back and re-time everything....but WHAT would, could, I have done to cause that? I want to make sure I don't do it again cause it's going to take me 3-4 hours to fix the problem. (PP2007). If I were to have a "wish list" in this program (some programs overkill on safeguards)....I would like to see and "are you SURE warning" before a global change is executed--but nobody asked me, did they?

    - callout dimensions You guys are a lot of help, this is a great source of how to info. Let me see if I can stump ya though, because this one has stumped me. I need to programmatically find the dimensions of a callout. The issue I am having is that I can get the top and left and the height and width, but those are the dimensions of the actual circle/bubble and not the line leading to it. If I could find a way to ungroup those two items or find the dimensions of the whole object that would be really helpful.

With Powerpoint 2003, the templates wouldn't show up until our custom GRUSRGAL.GRA file was in the "C:\documents and settings\username \application data\microsoft\graph" folder, but that doesn't work in Powerpoint 2007. I have set the "\\server_name\share_name" path in the workgroup templates folder location in Word, as well as added it to the trusted locations list in both word and powerpoint. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, or how to get this working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: Speed of Export / Auto Update Off? Tag: 391534

    - Powerpoint 2007 - editing charts in presentations. We have recently upgraded to Office 2007 and a number of users are getting error messages when trying to edit charts that were created with previous versions of Powerpoint. There are four errors. they basically say: 1. To edit this chart using the new features available in the 2007 Microsoft office System, you must firat convert it to the 2007 office system format. Do you want to convert to the new format. It does not matter which option is chosen as none of them work. 2. Microsoft office powerpoint can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning. Would you like to repair now. If you chose yes, then it runs through the repair process, asks for a reboot and does not fix anything. 3. The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application. Click ok and the following message comes up. 4. Microsoft Office Powerpoint can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now. You choose yes and runs through the repair and restarts and still doesn't work. I have read a lot of the support and have checked there is less than 300 fonts, I have reregistered the graph.exe and got a message saying it needs to be run from another program.

It seems I have put a couple of songs in that are overlapping one another and I have two playing at once.

    - SourceFullName error PowerPoint Office 2007 sp 1 Hi, We are trying to update the value of SourceFullName for a PowerPoint 2007 presentation link to an OLE, paste special, Excel chart. The problem we have is on some machines we get the error below when the value given to 'SourceFullName' does not point to a valid file but on other machines it accepts the value. Method 'SourceFullName' of object 'LinkFormat' failed. With error number -214467259 My question hence, is there a way where we can turn off the check when setting 'SourceFullName'? Or is there a windows update or known setting that modifies the behaviour. At the moment we know on some machines this check is happening but on others it is not. We have tested under XP sp 3 and Vista sp 1 and we are running Office 2007 sp 1. We have both XP and Vista machines showing the duality, it would be nice to find out what is setting this behaviour, what we do observe is that appears to be at a machine level.

    - 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).

    - 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.

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.

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.

    - 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?

I am exporting the backgrounds of a bunch of slides by clearing the objects
and exporting the slides. Is there any way to speed up this process? I was
seeing some ideas through excel to freeze the window, but I cant find the
equivilant for powerpoint. Anything along the lines of:

making powerpoint invisible, but still editable
turning auto update off
or freezing the desktop altogether

I am fairly new to programming so I am not even sure if any of these will
greatly improve the speed, but it seems like they may. Any information would
be greatly appreciated.
