Edited by HansV to update link that no longer worked

PPT doesn't use the Windows Media Player to play multimedia, so that's not a good test. What PPT does use is the antiquated Windows MCI...

But what is the Select Multiple Objects tool?

It's a tool you have to add to your toolbar via Tools/Customize. It basically gives you a dialog box with a list of the stuff on your slide; you tick...

Well, you could do a search for *.POT files on your harddrive and delete the ones you don't want.

Or maybe try renaming the *.POT files to something like *.POX or *.PXX -- they shouldn't show up...

Just add a hyperlink. Right-click the object you want to use as the link, select Hyperlink, and type the URL (for example, http://www.echosvoice.com) into the Address box.

If you need a "live"...

You might want to try the free RnR Starter Set add-in, then. Use the "memorize position" tool to pick up placement settings for one object, then use the "place exactly" (the hammer) tool to hammer...

Import PDF content into PowerPoint

Can you modify the slide layout to allow extra space at the top for those slides with 2-line titles? If so, then just create another slide master and call it 2-line title or something. Then apply...

I'd recommend recording the sound outside of PPT and then inserting the narrations later. PPT's recording (as you're seeing) leaves a lot to be desired.

You're correct, it's not something PPT should be doing. It's actually a bug. PowerPoint is reapplying the first slide master to the slide.

One thing that sometimes works is to go to...

Hans's workarounds are indeed the way to go because, unfortunately, you cannot add placeholders or new slide layouts.

WAVs can be linked or embedded, depending on your settings. See http://www.echosvoice.com/gotchas.htm#SoundAdvice for some more information. It sounds as if you do have a path issue.

PPT 2003 (and 2002, also, for that matter) handles sound differently than PPT 97 does, so it's not unusual that your sounds won't play at home on 2003.

You can use the 97 PPT Viewer to view the...

I believe I responded to this question in the Microsoft PowerPoint newsgroup either today or yesterday. If it hasn't answered your question, you need to let me that you've tried my suggestions but...

As jscher posited, someone has indeed created a styles add-in for PPT. I can't tell you how many hours of work the RnR Shape Styles add-in has saved me!

1. We attempted to copy to a CD-RW. We got an error message that said there was no writeable CD. Instead, I copied to a folder using that option on "Package for CD" I then copied that folder to the...

Sure. Here's a link to my response. http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/...59a6&sloc=en-us Dunno if it will work for you or not, though, so...

If you open the taskpane and choose Slide...

I answered this same question yesterday in the Microsoft PowerPoint newsgroup. The questions were worded almost identically. So, assuming that you also posted that question, let me know if the...

There's really no great way to do this if you need to maintain animations.

See http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00057.htm for some info on capture utilities and a link to TAJ Simmons's...

Glad to hear things are working.

It seems as if you are indeed experiencing a path-length issue.

"My Documents" is really kinda buried, if you ask me. For example, the full path to my "My...

If you give the folder a different name (something simple with no punctuation marks) and put it directly on your C drive (as opposed to maybe putting it on a server or in My Documents or whatever),...

Yes, you really want to keep your sound files in the same folder as the presentation so you can keep the links intact when you move the files to other systems.

I suspect you have a path-length...

I think you'd have to break it into individual pieces and apply appropriate wipe animations to each piece.

Oh, try the Strips entrance animation. Changing the direction may allow this effect to...

I don't know about the adware quotient of these, but hopefully something listed here will work. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00048.htm

Any idea what the color order is?

You know, that's a really good question!

When I look at my task pane, I see blues, then greens and greys, then reds and browns, then a couple of templates...
