Actual text is smaller than Master Slide?
I got a call from a customer the other day. He was setting the text for all levels in the Master Slide to 32 points. I tested this with him. For some reason, the text is auto sized to something smaller in the actual slide presentation. I couldn't find a patter to what the text is resized to. I have tried turning off auto fit for title text and body text. That didn't resolve the probl...

blinking videos
I have recently tested various video formats to see how they run in powerpoint. I find that although several types can run, the ONLY file format that runs without "blinking" as it starts are .avi files. I find that mpeg and wmv files both blink as they start - that is, the first frame appears (as in the sorter view) then the video blinks as it starts. Has anyone found anything different? ...

Link to PowerPoint presentation
When I open a PowerPoint presentation (which I created) from a hyperlink in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, it always opens in slideshow view. When I physically navigate to it, or open it via an Outlook e-mail link, it opens fine in edit mode. This happens on all the machines I've tried. I'm not saving as a slide show. It definitely has a .PPT extension. It resides on my own hard drive. Is...

I know how to set this up if PPT is the player, but this show will be distributed to hundreds of people still using Office 2000. We don't want to lose the effects a...

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
The B2TR patch has some nasty surprises for users in store. The most important one being that Word 2007 Beta 2 files saved in the new file formats (extensions docx, docm, etc) might not open at all once B2TR has been installed. Excel files in the file formats (extensions xlsx, xlsm, etc) saved in B2 should open in B2TR. PowerPoint files saved in B2 in the new file formats (extensions pp...
