I am trying to copy a visio drawing (copy drawing - ctrl +C) and then paste into powerpoint. When in power point i paste special - device independent bitmap. However, the image pasted is transparent. I am using layers in visio, and have checked the print setting.
View 1 Repliesmy Visio 2010 tries to configure each time I start the program. I currently have no other Visio version installed and never had one. My office is also the version 2010, but I had 2007 installed before, which is now uninstalled.
Also I encountered the following behaviour: I created a new user account. With that account Visio configured once and never again, the problem did not occur again with that account. Unfortunatly in my primary account the problem does still exist. That behaviour might leed to the conclusion that the problem somehow has to be connected to the user account and/or the according user rights (which are administrative by the way).
I would really like to get rid of the problem for my primary account, I do not indent to set up a complete new account.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded 400 pics from a new 16Gb SanDisk memory in a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera to the hard drive. From there I've loaded all 400 (jpeg), and then just the first 100, into PowerPoint 2007 trying to get the problem described below to go away. No luck. Overall, here's what happens. About half of the pics in the slide window on the left do not appear in the large window on the right. Latest development is the following.
1. I highlight a pic in the slide window on the left hoping it will appear in the window on the right
2. the right, large window remains white (empty)
3.I left click on right window and a large "text" box appears covering almost all of the right window
4. go to the top button on that "text" box and pull it down
5. half way down the window the pic appears in the "text" box (right window) grayed out so it is not clear (like it's hidden behind a layer)
6. at the same time that same pic in the left slide window is half size just like the one on the right
7. release the left click on the right window and the pic in the right window disappears (window returns to white) but the pic in the left window remains half size

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Office 2010 on Windows 7 64-bit. I just created my first PowerPoint presentation containing 30 slides, all containing images, with a total of 35 images overall. All of the images together add up to less than 6 MB. During the creation of the slides I was careful to follow the guidelines for Sizing Digital Images For Powerpoint. However, when I save the presentation to disk, it is over 55 MB! I have tried to Compress Pictures from the Format toolbar-- no effect. In fact, file size of the presentation was larger after this. If I go to File>Info>Optimize Media Compatibility, this option is GRAYED OUT and does not work! I want to be able to send this presentation as an email attachment, but 55MB is way too big!

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt work I set up a computer with dual monitors. One of the monitors is a tv that we want nothing except a powerpoint presentation on it. So I created the powerpoint, ran the slideshow on the tv and minimized it on the other monitor. Works great, unless I open other programs on the pc then the slideshow freezes on the tv! If I open anything, ms paint, firefox, any window or program the slideshow freezes until the program is minimized. Then it continues. How do I get around this?
apparently this is because the slideshow is run in full screen. If I go to "set up slide show" and run by an individual window then all is fine but then I have borders.
I want to insert a video into ppt, but i keep getting the message "power point cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify that the necessary 63-bit codec for this media format is installed, and then try again."
Can someone point me in the direction of the correct codec?
I can see the same file in XP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having this problem with a windows 7 HP Elitebook 2540p laptop. Whenever I print a power point presentation on the landscape setting, the first page of the presentation comes out in portrait. This problem only happens when printing to one of our toshiba copiers in color. This is not a problem with a smaller hp color printer also hooked up to the computer.
I have checked the orientation settings and everything seems normal. I have even replaced the laptop with a new formatted one with the most updated drivers. The printers are toshiba 3530 and 2830s.
I have a Powerpoint presentation with embedded video clips. The Smart Art doesn't animate correctly in Powerpoint 2003 (which, unfortunately, is still being used by a large number of people who need to view these files). Solution 1: I packaged for CD and included PowerPoint Viewer 2007 Outcome: The Smart Art still DOESN'T animate; Embedded videos WILL play
Solution 2: Instruct the end users to download and install PowerPoint Viewer 2010 Outcome: The Smart Art DOES animate; Embedded videos will NOT play.
I discovered that if I open the presentation file in PowerPoint 2010 I get a warning that external medial objects have been blocked. If I click the Enable Content button, then close Powerpoint and go back to Powerpoint Viewer 2010 (on the same computer) embedded video WILL play. How does someone who does not have the full version of Powerpoint 2010 open the presentation file and enable content?
To make things even more complicated... I just opened the Help menu in Viewer. -> The Media tab indicates shortcuts for start, stop, volume, etc. Then, I opened the readme file. -> "PowerPoint Viewer does not support running macros, programs, or opening linked or embedded objects". That's a bit contradictory, isn't it? Media IS an embedded object, is it not?!
However I have installed MS Office 2007, and now I have options to create new PowerPoint, Word and Excell documents. How would I go about removing and restoring these?

I just had to have the music a certain length to span across 82 slides. Is there ANY WAY to reduce the size of this music wav file (so that it conforms to the 50 MB max file size for PowerPoint). I would rather embed this music file than to have a link.

One of my HDD's is failing quickly and I 'suspect' that it's the current drive that the beta is installed on (although I'm still not certain) and rather than go through all the nuisance of partitioning / installing on another drive, is there a way to copy the current install (6801) holus bolus to another drive and repair / modify the boot records / registry to make it function?
Alternatively, could I make a bootable image and use that to re-install on a new drive? I've never created an 'image' so that's new territory for me.
As I said, I doubt it's possible but as I've already spent days 'setting up' 6801, I really don't feel like doing it all again so soon, but the way my rigs been acting up, I may not have a choice.
(I've already installed a total of 5 fresh installations in the last couple of days and it's getting time consuming and tiresome)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have LiveMail on my machine at home and at work. Sometimes a new mail address or correction comes into one and I want to copy it to the other. Since LiveMail has no way to save a single item and then transfer it, I want to be able to copy the entire "contacts.edb" to my other machine. But since the "users" directories are not quite identical, it doesn't take, LiveMail shuts down and reboots with the old contacts file.
Emptying the contacts and reimporting will not do. For one thing, I have Chinese characters inside the names and addresses, and these are all stripped on the reimport. For another, it seems a time-consuming solution.
Adding everything just duplicates the entries.
Is there some easy way to do this? I tried copying both the ebd and the pat files, but they contain directory links particular to each computer.
