Copy-Paste problems with PPT 2007 SP2

I'm having font problems with ppt. Here's what happens. 1. I copy a string of text from another program (a bibliographic reference from EndNote, as it happens) with italics in the middle and non-italic text on either side. 2.

Adding Animations in Slide Sorter View

In PowerPoint 2003 I was able to add animation schemes to multiple slides at the same time in Slide Sorter view. I can't seem to find a way to do that in PowerPoint 2007 and have to add them one slide at a time. Has Microsoft degraded that capability or am I missing something?

How to record which objects a user clicks on

Hi, New to the forums here. I would like to know how to track which objects a user clicks during a powerpoint presentation. I realize this will probably require a macro and that is where I need help. I'm fairly tech savvy, but I don't know how to program in VB. Whenever there is a mouseclick on an object in the slideshow, I would like two things to happen: 1) Advance to a particular slide (which I see can be set easily in the program) 2) Write data, to a separate file (it can be a text file), that reports which object was clicked. This would happen in the background so the user

Generate 12 random numbers

Is it possible to generate 12 random numbers (numbers 1 - 12) independently (no numbers repeated) in 12 independent shapes (one number per shape) by the click of a single button?

Embedded Visio (and other) objects in ppt, but app not available?

I've embedded Excel/Word/Visio objects in my powerpoint slide deck. This allows me to doctor the content using the source applications without creating separate external files for those objects.

Powerpoint and Smarboard help

I have a presentation/game that runs fine without my smartboard but will only run fine at times when I connect the smartboard (e.g., sometimes it works and sometimes not). It's a very simple game where the player just touches a picture that they believe is the correct answer. The game does involve a running clock which is what I believe is causing the problem, but have no clue as how to fix. If the clock is not running the game will work with the smartboard, but if I start the clock (i.e., countdown) the game will only work some of the times. Just wondering if anyone has had

Help: Need color bars to not print, but to remain seen on a monito

It is important that the cover page remain full color, we just want to save toner on the subsequent pages.

PPT2007 Charts and VBA

I remember coming across a problem with charts in a VBA program I have written when the customer upgraded to 2007. Looking into the matter, I came across the listing at PPTTools which mentions that 2007 charts are not exposed to VBA: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00889.htm At the time, I believe a coworker had checked the 'Convert' when editing a chart, and it no longer worked with the program I had written. Now the same charts seem to be working again when they are converted, or even created as brand new charts in 2007 with the same code. Is this something that Microsoft fixed at some po
