Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / October 2006PowerPoint too slow
I have a new MacBook Pro with the Intel processor & Mac OS X 10.4.8. When I start a PowerPoint program it takes approximately 3 seconds per slide to startup and PP frequently quits unexpectedly. Most slides are .ppt photos. I finally gave up and used my Dell PC for my last presentation. Any help would be appreciated. Have you installed any updates for powerpoint itself? Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints, tips and more... >I have a new MacBook Pro with the Intel processor & Mac OS X 10.4.8. > When I start a PowerPoint program it takes approximately 3 seconds per > slide to startup and PP frequently quits unexpectedly.

It turned out that the pictures were linked and were being brought in over a network. The network latency turned out to be the bottleneck. Can you tell us more about the pictures, their file types and sizes, and their locations? -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "soaringwings@comcast.net" <soaringwings@comcast.net>, in article 1159804560.047894.240270@h48g2000cwc.googlegroups.com, on [DATE: > I have a new MacBook Pro with the Intel processor & Mac OS X 10.4.8. > When I start a PowerPoint program it takes approximately 3 seconds per > slide to startup and PP frequently quits unexpectedly.

SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ You must realize that Office 2004 is not a Universal Binary, therefore it will run slower on an Intel based Mac versus a PowerPC based system. I have Office 2004 running on both my desktop G5 and laptop G4, and it performs acceptably. That being said, Office 2004 is a dog compaired to Office v.X. I don't know what 'under-the-hood' changes MS made between these two versions, but in my experience, Office v.X is much faster than 2004. Microsoft; one step forward, two steps back.

I totally agreed that MS should have improve the standard the office sofeware they write for Mac for the MS off.2004 ppt to work on Intel base mac book is much slower than ppt.work on Window pc itself, not withstanding that my window PC is a slower processor and smaller ram as compare to the Mac book i got lately. Simply feature of ptt. on Mac such as select and move a image ,it take too long time to response. and less functional feature as compare to the later. I was told to re load my Ms office , i am seeking any better solution ? If any. Thanks Hi John, The next release of Office for Mac will be a dual binary. Hopefully this code will work much faster because it won't be going through the Rosetta translator. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Quoting from "johnclement" <enquries@creativelandscape.com.sg>, in article 1162291181.379168.102420@e3g2000cwe.googlegroups.com, on [DATE: > I totally agreed that MS should have improve the standard the office > sofeware they write for Mac [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > If any. > Thanks SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ |
