Problems have been reported in the past when migrating from ppt 2001 to
ppt X, and they've now continued when we imported ppt presentations
from ppt X to ppt 2004. When opened in ppt 2004 the slides look correct
in 'normal view' and in 'slide view', but when I go to 'slide show' I
get a number of different behaviors. Some slides show the included
figures briefly and then fade, others disappear completely and I'm left
with nothing but the text.
When I copy the offending figures and paste them into a new document in
photoshop, they appear to be enormous (twice the size of the whole ppt
presentation, for example (40 Megs). If I reduce the pixels per inch
figure to a normal Mac display, 72 dpi, and paste them back into the
2004 version of ppt, everything looks as it should. This suggests a
tedious workaround, but the problem is that some of the offending
figures come out as jumbled garbage when I paste them into photoshop,
so I don't have that option.
In ppt X these figures were normal size <1 Meg, so something about ppt
2004 is creating the fiction that they are much larger than they really
are, and ppt 2004 is only showing a small fraction of this large
collection of pixels on the screen. What is wierd is that I can make
it through a lecture by reverting to 'slide view' and expanding the
window to virtually full screen, but that workaround obviously has an
undesired border around it.
Anyone else inadvertantly discover this 'feature' of migrating from ppt
X to 2004? Again, this only happens with color figures. The black and
white images are o.k.
Thanks,
Jon
