Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / April 2007Memory issues with notes pages
I look after my companies credentials and we have just added notes to the client case studies slides so presenters can read them while in Presenter mode and suddenly we are having problems with files crashing/ freezing/failing to load etc. We normally have 10 case studies per presentation which on average are 10 to 15 slides, so that means there are now 100 - 150 slides with notes. The actual file size does not increase that much but my tame IT guy reckons Microsoft files tend to have memory/storage limits for different operations. Is this true and would the notes be stored like this and have a limit? When I strip out the notes, the file is more reliable and I've had larger PowerPoint files without this happening, well almost. We know how temperamental PowerPoint can be.

You could try removing individual graphics to see if one is causing the crash. My solution was to break 5M prez into 2 parts and my problem disappeared. (I created the problem by editing the prez in Office 2007/Windows and cannot find the error that was introduced).

We know > how temperamental PowerPoint can be. Haven't heard of this being a problem but if the file's more reliable when you strip out the notes, that's hard to argue with. How much notes text is there, typically? And is it heavily formatted? Is there something besides text on the notes pages (graphics, charts, anything)? ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Just a couple of thoughts as I haven't experienced this either: Do any of the notes exceed the size (capacity) of the placeholder? Was any of the note content pasted in form another source, possibly containing something other than text?

The there is quite a bit of text in the notes page and either copied from word or from another PowerPoint file. Also it is formatted to a degree but the font suggestion is interesting. We have just over hauled our fonts so I'll get the IT guys to look into this as it may just be a coincidence the problem with the notes. I'll let you know what happens. Andy |
