I have repeatedly tried to convert a recent PP presentation to a
QuickTime movie. Animations from the presentation do not play properly
in QuickTime, but I can't get rid of them. First I went in and removed
all the animation effects manually from the affected slides, and when I
play the slide show within PP they're gone. However, when I save as a
movie and open in QuickTime or Real Player, they show up. My second
attempt was to add new, simpler animations, thinking they would
override whatever buried code remained. Nope. Now I get both sets of
animations. I even tried creating new slides and moving the text and
graphics by cut-and-paste, but the animations come with them onto the
new slides. Is there a solution? any overriding command to delete all
animation effects?

Hi,

It sounds like the presentation is remembering the QuickTime information
for some reason.

Try opening a new presentation then use Insert > Slides > From File.
Maybe if you import all the slides from the existing presentation into a
new one the problem will go away.
