    - Revert to master slide bullet styles I have PowerPoint presentations containing slides with customized bullets. I want to change all of the bullets in the presentations to the bullets defined on the master slide. How can I do that. I know that CTRL-Space removes manual text formatting, but it leaves customized bullets alone. And while I'm asking, what about line spacing? Is there a way to reset it to spacing defined on the master slide? Thanks, YossiD Tag: power point presentation skips last 3 slides and goes back to begi Tag: 386737

    - Freeforms and elbow connectors In PowerPoint 2003 you could use elbow connectors with freeform shapes and it would work as with any other shape. In PowerPoint 2007, the default route chosen for an elbow connector to a freeform always seems to come from the right, often going right through the shape! Is there any way to get it to work as it does in 2003? Tag: power point presentation skips last 3 slides and goes back to begi Tag: 386721

    - Videos shutting down Power Point Ever since I picked up my new Dell M1210 laptop with Vista Home, I have had nothing but problems with Power Point 2007. My main use for the laptop is doing presentations. Biggest challenge is imbedded videos. WMF files will error out and shut down the PPT. Other types will tend to play audio with no picture. I have loaded new codecs, tried various support lines. No one has had a solution. Any ideas?? (By the way, I can play all of the videos outside of power point with no problem) Tag: power point presentation skips last 3 slides and goes back to begi Tag: 386714

    - PowerPoint 2003 Crashing I'm trying to add narration to a slide show with PowerPoint 2003. It is installed on a computer that is used for audio and video editing, so the machine is well tuned, up-to-date, and virus and spyware free. When I click on Record Narration and Set Microphone Level, PPT crashes with "Microsoft Office PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Thinking that there may be a conflict with an audio driver or codec, I tried the same thing in a different computer, also well maintained and quite clean. The same error pops up. One computer is a true blue IBM. The other is a completely different motherboard. PPT seems to be working well in every other function I've tried. Both computers are Windows XP SP2 with all updates. One computer has a Digital Audio Labs CardDeluxe sound card. The other one has an M-Audio DIO-2496. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    - Including Audio Files Today I sat through a PPT 2003 presentation during which there was narration from start to finish. When the narrator said, "Let's look at the next slide,", the next slide automagically appeared. I have read several web sites and the PPT help, but I am still not clear how this presentation was created. My question is, does PPT treat narration audio different from embedded or linked audio? The slides were not equally spaced. The audio of slide one was a minute. The audio of slide two was 30 seconds. The audio of slide three was two minutes. What I would like to do is to have a (wave) sound file play all through the presentation, and have the slides change at pre-selected points during the audio file, as above. I do not want to have to record the narration in real time. I know how to add an audio file to each slide, but that's not what I want to do. I just want to play the audio and manually trigger the slides at the appropriate time and have PPT remember the timings. How do I do that?

My problem is that I cannot seem to insert the sheet so that it can be manipulated during the presentation. The excel sheet is part of a large workbook.

    - Create a Print Button on Slide with VBA from Access Hi, I have some VBA in an Access 2003 database that produces a slide and displays data from a table in a presentation. It is working well. I have been asked if it is possible to put a print button on the last slide and when clicked, all the slides would be printed. I have the code below that puts a custom action button onto my last slide. I don't know how to get it to print when the button is clicked. I understand that "Print" refers to a macro that would be in the PowerPoint VBA but this VBA is running from Access, creating the presentation on the fly. So how can I get that button to print the slides in the presentation currently being displayed? Many thanks Anthony My code: ********** Set PrintButton = EndSlide.Shapes.AddShape(125, 340, 400, 30, 15) EndSlide.Shapes.PrintButton.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Action = ppActionRunMacro EndSlide.Shapes.PrintButton.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Run = "Print" Is this the correct code below to print all the slides? *********************************************************** PPPres.PrintOptions.OutputType = 1 PPPres.PrintOut -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/powerpoint/200805/1 Tag: power point presentation skips last 3 slides and goes back to begi Tag: 386616

    - swf in powerpoint 2003 problems My girlfriend does marketing and she wants to put a flash file in her powerpoint for her boss. we can do the whole insert a shockwave flash object and point it to the swf but it doesn't work right. The thing is she got this flash file from someone else in the company. You're supposed to run the exe and it plays the flash content. There's a basic background and a table of links on the left. As you click on the links, the content in the right changes. All while this happens a series of pictures cycles at the top. Now, outside of powerpoint, if you run the swf file, it will only work correctly if the "assets" folder is in the same folder as the swf file. If you pull that assets folder out of the folder with the swf, it only shows the background. None of the content loads. That being said, is there a way in powerpoint to add the swf AND have it pull the content from the assets folder or is it not working because of how it's set up as the .exe package? She can call the .exe as a hyperlink in the document too, but then there's an annoying message saying some files can harm...blah blah blah, are you sure. Not too professional for a presentation in my opinion. is there anything we can do, or does this flash project need to be created a different way to play properly in powerpoint? I appreciate the help. Joe Tag: power point presentation skips last 3 slides and goes back to begi Tag: 386605

For example, a font may format to bold that was normal typface, or it may grow by a size. I checked the same files on another user's machine (who is running same version of Office), and the files open without issue. Is this the bug that has been mentioned a few times in earlier posts?

This is my first attempt to write a PowerPoint macro though I've = written lots of Excel macros. I have a few questions: First, I'm trying to write a simple macro that will loop through all of = the slides in the open PowerPoint presentation and identify each = embedded Excel worksheet and activate it (the reason for this isn't = important but the worksheet is connected to a database and I want to get = fresh data). My macro looks like this: Sub UpdateExcelShapes() Dim oShape As Shape Dim oPresentation As Presentation Dim oSlide As Slide Dim oSelection As Selection =20 Set oPresentation =3D ActivePresentation Set oSelection =3D Application.ActiveWindow.Selection =20 For Each oSlide In oPresentation.Slides For Each oShape In oSlide.Shapes If oShape.Type =3D msoEmbeddedOLEObject Then If Left(oShape.OLEFormat.ProgID, 11) =3D "Excel.Sheet" Then oSlide.Select oShape.Select oShape.OLEFormat.Activate SendKeys "{ESC}" End If End If Next oShape Next oSlide ' If Not oSelection Is Nothing Then ' oSelection.Select ' End If End Sub When the macro gets to the oShape.Select statement I get the error = message in the subject line of this posting. What does it mean and how = do I fix it? I have no idea what view the message is referring to. Second, I've written a similar little macro for Word. In that macro I = needed the moral equivalent of the commented out code at the bottom of = the macro to reselect whatever was originally selected before the macro = started. Sadly in PowerPoint the Selection object doesn't have a Select = method. Any suggestions?

Help - I cannot figure out why during the slide show the presentation skips
the last 3 slides and goes back to the beginning. Help - I have to give this

Segue,
Maybe you have hidden the three slides accidently. See in the outline pane
on your left if the last three slides have a slash running through the
number. If so, right click on the slides and choose Hide slide.
Also check in Slide show - Setup Show - in the show slides section if the
radio button all slides is active and there is no range of slides that has
been set.
Also if you have applied an automatic slide transition of 0:00 seconds to
those last three slides they could flash by very quickly leaving you with
the impression that they have not been shown.
