Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / November 2005

I have studied just about everything I can find on sound in PPT 2004.
Am I correct that, while sound can be added to each slide, a soundtrack
such as background music can not be added across a whole presentation
independently of individual slides?

I just encountered a problem with the PowerPoint 2004 Help window. The
window opens when I select PowerPoint Help and I can navigate the
window normally but there is no close button. The only way I can close
the help window is to quit the application and restart it.

One of our Directors has created a few Powerpoint Presentations for an
important meeting she has coming up this Thursday. She created them on her
G4 Powerbook (1.67GHZ, 2 GIGS RAM, 10.4.2) but now suddenly she's having
issues.

Is thre anybody out there who knows why when on a darkish background, with
white text on when you highlight to edit it becomes invisible making hard if
not impossible to edit
many thanks in advance

I guess I just am not familiar enough with Power Point.  I work in a
Macintosh format, and when I receive a Power Point slide show (.pps)
sometimes I¹d like to convert it to a regular Power Point file (.ppt).  Is
there an easy way to do this?

Greetings.  I'm using Office X on a G4 desktop with OS version 10.4.3.
I have some VBA macros in PowerPoint which I know to work well on
Windows, and now I'm trying to use them on the Mac as well.  VBA in
general appears to work fine, but some of my macros don't.

I have Office 2004 for Mac/Power Point version 11.2...running on an IMAC
G-5.  I have Office 200 for Windows with PowerPoint on several Windows XP

When I switched from Mac Office 2004 to v.X the options to print
slides, handouts, notes, etc. have all disappeared. I just get the
