I'm putting together a ppt presentation and I'd like to include movies
on two slides. It works fine until I move the document to another
computer - the movies have not been saved with the presentation. Is it

   All of a sudden my ListBox_Click Sub stopped getting called.
   Once I looked into it, it happened when I changed it from a
fmMultiSelectSingle box to a fmMultiSelectMulti box.
   I need to be able to get notification when selections change

I have many PowerPoint presentations I have created over the last few
years. I opened one up the other day that I needed to print new
hand-out masters for. I set it up to print in the Grayscal mode as I
always do, because that makes the best masters for reproducing copies

I have a number of full page images that naturally cover up the slide number

Powerpoint 2000 files produced on a PC running Windows XP will not open
in Powerpoint X for Mac running on my iMac. I get message saying file
is either open, corrupt, or not in recognized format. The files open

Here's the setup:
I created a toolbar called "BWTools" and I want to add the functionality
that comes with a built-in toolbar command along with that command's
pop-up submenu.

I would like to manipulate the background in one of the standard PowerPoint
templates. I would like to save the image as a JPEG or some other format so
that I can insert it into a Word or Publisher document, so they match my
PowerPoint presentation. Is there any way to separate ...

I would like to play a small Quicktime movie over a larger QT movie, in
the same slide. Is this possible?
Also, I noticed that when the QT movie has finished playing, it returns
to the first movie frame and stops. Can I tell PPT to stop at the

I inserted a movie in one of the slides. Right now, the movie begins
when the previous slide has finished fading. Also, the movie ends,
there's a white space and then the next transition (fading) starts to
go to the next slide. I would like the a nice fading between the

When creating a PowerPoint presentation on a Mac and than viewing on a
PC, some of the custom animations do not cross-platform; and, vice
versa. Is there a fix to this problem? We are trying to create a
standard presentation that anyone can view and/or update. Even saving

Hi, I have installed MS Office on my powerbook G4 with 1024 MB system
memory. I did not - and will not - install Entourage nor the virtual PC
thingie. I work with relatively large presentations with graphs etc.
but no mammoths with lots of pictures, multicolour backgrounds etc.,
