Is there a quick, simple way to put a large number of photos into a
slideshow, with each photo on a separate slide? I have an album with
200+ slides (iPhoto), and I'd like to throw them all into a slideshow
and work with them from there. Does this require code to make it happen?

I have noticed that when I print Notes pages from PowerPoint 2004, there are
borders in notes field on some pages. This happens regardless that I have
removed the borderline from Notes master page notes field.
My Mac Office 2004 is updated to the latest version (11.2.5, 060620) and ...

I was at a conference today and the presenter had a Mac and was using
Power Point for the presentation.  At break times, he had a cool
onscreen (and on monitor projection) timer that would count-down the
time left for the break.  It looked like a stopwatch.  It could be set

I enrolled in a class at a university and we have online lecture slides
with hyperlinks to other documents on the web to be read.
When I enter into slideshow mode and hover over a link, the typical
white gloved finger appears indicating a hyperlink.  However, when I

My client is showing his presentation on a 40" widescreen TV (16:9
ratio). Do I have to create slides higher than 72 dpi to have the
picture sharp?... if so, what's a safe dpi, 100, 200, 300?
Thank you.

Is there a short cut key combination to allow you to quickly move back
and forth between multiple presentations that are simultaneously open?
I can see that they are numbered in the Window menu, but have no idea
how to use that number to quickly jump from one presentation to

You used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto directly into a
Powerpoint slide -- but now using the latest and greatest updates of
both programs, when you try to drag and drop it gives you the TIFF

For some reason, nothing from PowerPoint is printing to our 4600n. It
just spools indefinetely in the print spool window. I have tried on
mulitple computers using multiple presentations (some with no pictures

I am trying to work on this course from home and I can't find a summary
slide button.  It's not on the Slide Sorter toolbar.  Not even a
reference to it in the HELP section.  Anyone know anything about this?
If I can only work on my assignments in class (Windows XP) I am never

Hi;
I am putting together PPT presentations to be used in training. Does
PPT, or maybe an unknown (to me) related product provide the capability
to set up a presentation based on 'component' presentations?

is there any way to influence the colour management in PP? I have the
simple example of black and white SEM photograph (in Photoshop it shows
as having indexed colours, sampling it shows always the same values for
red, green, and blue).

My client is asking if this can be done... if so, how would I do it?...
Can you build a PowerPoint presentation or similar to run in a 16:9
aspect ratio for a plasma display at the show? It has to be very high
res. If it is built for wide screen viewing then it will not have to be ...

I'm trying to get quicktime movies (.mov) to work in PPT 2004 on a Mac.
In normal view, you can see and run the movies.  As soon as you go
into slide show, the movies either won't play, or if they do play they
don't run properly.  The same file when opened in PPT X works

I'm running a G5 with a high-res 30" monitor. When the high-res pixel
mode is selected, I see the slides wrong, with the bottom of the slide
at the top and the top of the slide at the bottom. I've also used my
Ti-laptop with the same monitor, and get the same thing, so it doesn't
