Tables in PowerPoint

[Katsche.Schwarzenbeck]

Hi,

I created a number of tables in PowerPoint (not imported from Excel
etc. but created in PPT). When I try to highlight them, it takes about
5s for PowerPoint to process things.

Also, I cannot seem to get this presentation into a pdf file - Acrobat
is somehow having a problem with these tables and the tags. I do need
the tags/bookmarks so I need to go via the pdf button.

Does anybody know what in these tables could cause the problems?

Thanks

Katsche

I am not real sure exactly why the processing is taking so long, but you may
be able to get around everything by selecting the tables, then pasting
special as an image.

You will loose the table abilities, but you should gain the PDF
functionality, Of course you can apply the tags to the image instead of the
table to create your bookmarks in Acrobat.

You may also want to take a look over at PPTools. I believe they offer a
pre-PDF conversion tool that may solve your problems.
