    - Paste() to slide in c# application Hi all, Quick question. When using Powerpoint through the application, i can get content from a word docuemtn and paste it directly onto a slide in a presentation. I want to be able to do this via the PowerPoint object model. At present all i can manage is to add a new text box and paste to that. The problem i have is that the new textbox alters the formatting of the text when it gets pasted. Can anyone suggest how i might go about this so's to keep the formatting that the copied content has.

    - 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: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386616

    - Text not justifying Hello, When I type a long sentance on powerpoint and it is more than one line, the second and subsequent lines are not in line with the first line, they are indented in. I'm not sure how to justify the lines. It may have something to do with bullets as these are descriptive lines underneath a bullet point. I want to keep the bullet point.

    - 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: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386605

Is there anyway to get something like that in Power Point?

    - Video playback in Poweroint 2007 using Windows XP I recently purchased a new HP laptop computer. I ordered it with Windows XP but I have Office 2007 installed. I am a frequent user of Powerpoint. I have tried inserting standard .wmv video files but they won't play. So I used my old computer with Windows XP but Poweroint 2003 and created a presentation with a few .wmv files and .wav files. Everythign is fine. I then uploaded the presentation to a website and downloaded it to my new computer and it plays fine. Any suggestions??

    - Document font sizes change on different machine I am running PPT 2003 w/ SP2. When I open presentations given to me by several other users in the office, the fonts resize or reformat on their own when I open the file. 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? Or do I have a setting toggled differently? Oh...the one I am working on now is a PPT doc with a single master slide.

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.

    - Audio setup in PPT 2007 Using PPT 2007 in XP home for the first time (used PPT 97 previously) to create a birthday montage. I have a few .wav files to include, and I want each to span over a specified number of slides. I'm using Rehearse Timings which I believed would allow me to set the exact number of seconds the clip played per individual slide, and then transition automatically to the next slide. But when you play the slideshow, the slides don't transition at all. (this will be burned onto CD and connected via laptop to be viewed on a TV so it HAS to transition automatically). To add the file, I did Sound - Sound from File. I've tried every possible setting and it still doesn't transition. I don't remember having this problem in PPT 97, but then I don't think that had the Rehearse Timings feature. PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU!!

    - "Color Typewriter" animation slower in '07 than '03 My company has rolled-out an Office '07 pilot, and I've noticed a drastic decrease in visual performance when viewing animated slides I've created in the '03 version of PPT. Specifically, the color typewriter effect performs more sluggishly. I've read the thread regarding "print drivers" as the fix, but I'm still curious as to why there is a difference in performance between the two versions when the environment (my desktop configuration, the network...) has not changed. Is PPT using a different method for rendering animations? Have the recommended system requirements been radically changed? While I have the help desk looking into the matter, I'm curious to see if there has been similar feedback. Tag: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386517

    - Powerpoint 2003:Missing Images I have created 4 Chapters of Photo and Sound Images (460 Images in Each Chapter) using Powerpoint 2003. The problem I have is, when using Powerpoint 2003 to view the Presentations, about every 5th to 12th Image is missing on screen. Since this problem presented itself in Powerpoint, I also notice that Emailed PPSs miss some Images. This problem does not happen if I use Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 Viewer to view files outside of Powerpoint 2003 itself. I have also determined that the problem does not present itself when the same Presentation Files are run on other PCs or Laptops. In an effort to identify the cause of this problem I have tested with Graphics Accelleration both on and off and various settings for Accelleration. No improvement. I have changed out and increased DDR400 Memory to max of 4 Gb, I have performed a Windows Repair Install and Un-Installed Graphics Card Driver and Installed current version Driver 93.71, all to no avail, missing Images still persist. My PC specs: MB = Gigabyte GA-81PE775 Pro, CPU = Intel P4 3.0GHz, RAM = 4Gb DDR 400, Video = GeForce MX 4000 93.71 Driver, HDD = SATA 500Gb, OS = XP Pro SP2 + Updates, Application = Office 2003 SP3 + Updates, AVG AntiVirus and AVG AntiSpyWare. Can anyone Please advise if my Hardware can be contributing to this problem in any way or any other pertinent information that may assist in resolving this problem.

    - MCI error - mp3s randomly stop working; reinstalled WMP11 but noth Would love some help here. I have PPT 2003 and XP sp2. Using this set-up I have created many ppt presos with media in them and they have all worked fine. Up until now that is. Now I am getting this MCI error ("The specified file cannot be played on the specified MCI device. blah blah.."). The offending media in question is an mp3 I have run mplayer2.exe (WMP6?) and mp3s will not work there either, the error being "The source filter for this file could not be loaded. (Error=80040241)". The same mp3s work fine though in every other application I've tried (WMP11, Winamp, RM). So does this mean the problem is not the codecs? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing WMP11 I don't know how many times. I have also uninstalled pretty much every program I can think of that could potentially be causing a codec clash, including: - Winamp - Real Player - Samsung PC Studio + any other programs I saw which had anything to do with multimedia (exlc. VLC and PowerDVD) I have never downloaded and installed a codec pack, rogue or otherwise. To be honest until today I didn't even know what a codec was. The number of character in the file path is well less than 100 too. I would be most grateful for any advice as honestly I am at my wits end. I just don't understand how it could all work fine one day and now it doesn't. Kind regards Rob Tag: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386495

    - Keyboard activation in Presentation mode Is it possible without vba to have an action button behave as a keyboard keystroke? For example, I create an "A" key; in presentation mode someone clicks the key and it prints out an "A". Will I need to use activex buttons instead? I thought about pure trigger animation and building the characters myself through custom animation but that seemed too tedious... I also want to build a working ppt or pptx calculator in the same fashion but have come across the same problem... Any suggestions?

    - How do I change the default that opens new file when PPT is opened I'm becoming annoyed at a new file opening every time I open PowerPoint -- how do I change that default? Tag: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386468

    - Motion Path Accuracy I'm just starting to use motion paths to develop some animations, and I'm having trouble making them accurate enough to keep my objects aligned. For example, say I have a group of four boxes (upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right) that form a grid. I want to show those boxes moving around to show a particular reordering of data that I'm illustrating, but when the boxes come to their final resting places in the same grid, they are not well lined up because the motion paths don't seem to "snap" to where I'm wanting the boxes to move (meaning, the end points of the paths are not in the right place). Are there tricks to making accurate paths? I've found the same disappointment in general when working with freeforms - I don't know how to put the points exactly where I want them when drawing or editing.

    - Copy Excel data to a large table in a ppt slide I have a large data table in power point, the content of which mainly comes from excel spreadsheet. I cannot use copy and paste as the table doesn't exist in excel. I want to build a vba to copy data from excel to power point directly whenever there is an update. However, it is difficult to point to the correct position of each data point in the power point table. Is there a way to do this? thanks.

    - PowerPoint 2003 - Disable Autosize My company has standards for PPT font sizes, etc. However, I find that whenever I create a presentation, PowerPoint takes it upon itself to resize my fonts without my permission. Is there a way to shut this off? Tag: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386456

    - Track Changes Hello, I'm using PPT 2002 on a Windows XP SP2 computer. How can I share a PPT file with another user and both of us be able to track changes? Thanks. Tag: how do i save a presentation so that it always opens as slide show Tag: 386454

    - Stretching WordArt In PPT2003 you could stretch text vertically or horizontally - but in 2007 it seems that this function no longer exists - but essentially treats all text the same - it maintains the proportions of the fonts. This is a big step backwards if true - despite the great 3-D effects that you can otherwise apply. Am I missing something?
