Does anyone have a solution to the following problem: .AVI videos (eg.
MPEG4v3 or WMV9 codecs) do not play (only a black box appears) in Powerpoint
unless the extension is renamed to .WMV or .MPG. The videos are in the same
folder as the presentation on the desktop. I am aware of ...

I'm looking for an alternative to the late (and at least in my case)
lamented .lst files that used to be part of using Powerpoint.
Trying to launch one yields a dialog that states they are no longer
supported (true) and to search the PPT help for the alternatives

I have created a ppt which contains 5 minutes of narration for a
college class.  This ppt is now over 50 MB!!!!
The sample that was provided by my professor was only 6 MB with 5
minutes of narration.

Is there a way to loop one slide automatically but then be able to mouse
click to the next slide when you need to?

Powerpoint claims to be saving Autorecover files every 10 minutes (as
it's set to do).  But when Powerpoint stops responding (which seems to

need to disable that!) and I "Force Quit" no recovery files are used

Hi - I'm working on a slide show 'gift' for the high school senior
class where i teach.  I have 37 slides and set them (trying to) to a
popular song.  Every time I play the show, the slides vary slightly in

Is it possible to export PPT slides with animations as layered PSD
files so that you can recreate the animations in FCP - essentially
fading up lines of text or graphics  that appeared as animations in
the PPT presentation?

We have exported a 24 slide PPT as a QT and brought it into FCP where
we need to time the slides to an hour long narration. Many of the
slides have content that animates on - in fact there are 54 pieces
that animate on. I'm thinking we need to cut each slide into its

Help!  How do you change the default colors of the lines and boarders
in tables, when using a slide template that you've created?
I'm using a custom slide template that was originally created with a
dark background, but was changed to white.  Tables, text, bullets, etc

OK, this one has been bothering me for a while: I've notice that when I
am working in Word, periodically, I'll look down to the bottom of the
screen and notice that it is not repaginating the document
automatically.  I go to "Preferences/General" and check the "Background

One of our users has 'lost' his formatting palette of the edge of his
screen.  How do we get it back?  Instructions for reseting menus found,
but nothing for setting location of formatting palette.  Surely this is
easy to do ... :)

I've read loads of postings but can't find anyone whos asked exactly

My PPshow is 180MB, it has lots of photos in it. I want to compress

First.  I am not an expert.
