Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / July 2007powerpoint
Ok here is a question, When I open PowerPoint under the file there are several Powerpoint presentations that were created How do I delete these items? Dumb question I know, I have never used this program before. First things first :) This should have been submitted as a new post, not as a reply to another post - specially since it has absolutely no connection to that topic :) If you need some guidance in using newsgroups you might take a look at the Getting Started... Link here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx As to your question: Go to PowerPoint> Preferences> General, remove the check for Recently Used File List, then click OK. Then go right back & restore the check (if you wish). Note: This will clear all items from the Most Recently Used list.

Did you click OK to close the Preferences _before_ going back to restore the check? - Just un-checking/rechecking the box won't clear the list. I've never seen this fail in PPt or Word. Once the list is cleared & you restore the check the program does begin to track the MRUs again, so as you open files they will start to be listed based on the number you have set in the Prefs.

The list still should be vacated. Then set the Pref to whatever you prefer or leave it turned off altogether. If you do set it back to being active the MRU file list still should remain cleared until you open another file. If that doesn't resolve it you may have a corrupt preference file... Which is not a big deal, but we'll worry about that if & when necessary.

Glad you got it resolved! I don't know this for certain, but Norton could be a contributor to the problem. There have been a number of issues associated with it since OS X arrived on the scene. If you have any further problems you might try turning the Norton features off & see if it has an effect :-) Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 7/29/07 8:31 PM, in article 1185755509.891099.25700@b79g2000hse.googlegroups.com, "jqusnr@yahoo.com" >>>> Did you click OK to close the Preferences _before_ going back to restore >>>> the [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > norton's. runs like a champ, Thanks for the help and the pointers. > cheers. |
