I've been working for 2 days solid on a presentation that is full with
animations, sounds, etc., saving my work about every 3-5 minutes. Just
now the app crashed and when I wanted to reopen my presentation, it is

I have a problem, i am using a win XP machine, and i am creating the
power point and inserting the flash and things seem to work alright..
but when i open the power point on a mac it wont play the SWF flash
files ..

I'm sure this has been asked many times but I haven't found a solution:
Is there any way to print on A4 sheets either the Listing of slides which
appears on the left pane in 'Normal' view ?,
OR

Fairly new to PowerPoint and need to know: once I've set up my
PowerPoint slide show with all slides imported and in place...do I need
to keep the pdf files on my computer? Would save me tons of space on
PowerBook if I can put the original pdf files on my backup disk.

I created a slide show using Powerpoint 2004 for Mac, Version 11.1.1. I
have 103 slides. I set up for auto transition after 2 seconds. I have a
sound file embedded in the presentation. When I start the slide show
the music starts but the slide show NEVER gets past slide number 1. It

just noted that since we upgraded our tiger 17" powerbook with the
graphics update, that some quicktimes in powerpoint look like a dog.
Weird lines appear on video where movements occur, tried a variety of
codecs, but to no avail. The Quicktimes look perfect when played in QT

Is there any way to see the notes that apply to a given slide during a
presentation?Obviously I wouldn't want the audience to see the notes. Are
there any plug-ins that do this if the program itself can't? Thanks.

In Word 2004, there is an option that records a macro for you as you
run the commands.  I noticed that the same option is unavailable in
PowerPoint 2004.  does anyone have any suggestions on how to record a
macro if you do not have any visual basic experience?  As of now, I

I've developed an application in VB .Net 2002. The application runs
powerpoint files (ppt developed in PPT 2000 as well as PPT 2003) in
webbrowser active x control.  The PPT files have got animations and slide
transitions. The slide shows in PPT files are set to run continuously ...

I'm having trouble with the auto advance feature: I set it up to
transition automatically every 10 seconds, and the times show under
each slide in the slide sorter view.  When I view the slide show,
however, it doesn't advance.

I am working with powerpoint:mac 2004 trying to change the text format in a
presentation to a different colour. As the text on all slides has already
been formatted directly, I want to delete this direct format and go back to
the master format so that from then on I can change all ...

I created the PPT by linking the graphics and inserting sound files. It
works perfectly on my MAC G4 with OS 10.3. I burned the PPT onto a CD.
But on a PC, the grphics show a red X and the music doesnt stsrt when
it should.

After I create a new presentation on my dual-processor G4 and save my
changes once or twice, PowerPoint 2004 consistently begins to report an
error accessing the file, and eventually crashes.  Has anyone else
experienced this problem and is there a solution for it.  (I've tried
