Serious problem with Powerpoint 2011 for MAC

Hi, if anyone can help. We are a team of designers who work on Apple Macs, we use Powerpoint but have serious issues with the decks. When we move the deck window around the screen, it fragments the screen, leaving us unable to do anything else. Once this
happens, we have to re-start our Mac each time, this becomes very time consuming. Thanks.

Hi,
We support Office for Windows in the current forum, since this question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:

I have a problem with Powerpoint 2011 for Mac. I began preparing a presentation and everything was working just fine. At some point I switched away from presenter view and then back at which point the next slide had disappeared, never to be seen again.

Did I inadvertently hit some key that blocked out the preview slide? If so, what do I do to get it back? My presentation is on Thursday so I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

Problems with Office 2011 for mac after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Office 2011 for mac worked fine with Lion on my MacBook Air. I had been having some problems with my computer freezing and crashing, so the folks at the Genius Bar wiped my computer clean and installed Mountain Lion for me.
I have full backups (Time Machine) from before the wipe on my external hard drive, but I was told not to restore from the backup, that I should drag and drop files instead. I was also told to re-install any program for which I had the disk. I reinstalled Office 2011 via the disk.
Two major problems followed:
1.     I lost all my old emails (I use Mail). Even rebuilding the library or trying to restore them from Time Machine don't get them back.
2.     Word and Excel don't seem to recognize me anymore. I can pull up and modify an old document or workbook, but I cannot "save" my changes. I have to hit "save as." That's a pain, but there's a worse problem.
I have no trouble saving these "save as" versions to my desktop or to my Documents file. But I cannot save them anywhere else — even to the folder where I found the original document. I get a message that I don't have the necessary permissions to access or modify the folders. I'm asked to authenticate, and I do, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried Get Info on the workbooks and documents, and I'm clearly granted Read and Write permission.
I've done a permissions repair via Disk Utility. There were some things to repair, but it didn't solve my problem.
I know I can move all documents to an external hard drive and then recreate all the folders, saving all the documents and workbooks "as" but it seems a huge amount of work. Can anybody suggest an easier route or how to get my email history?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: 'resetpassword' (without the 's) and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Inserting a .wmv file into a powerpoint 2011 for mac

When I try to insert a wmv file in powerpoint 2011 for mac I get the following error. "Powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non standard or Quicktime is not installed properly." I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file. Thanks in advance for your help.

I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file.
Do you have the $29 (or greater) Flip4Mac decoder component installed? Changing the file extension at the Finder level does not change the data type contained within the file nor the file container type. If you want the WMV data in an MOV file container, you must use the QT 7 Pro (or MPEG Streamclip) "Save As..." option (together with the decoder component) to partially expand the WMV data (file will be noticeably larger) and place the expanded data in a "real" MOV file container.

You must be using an update CD. You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC. When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet. Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming! The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document. Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open? All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem. Can someone help please? Thanks!

You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
Make sure all Office application are quit fully
Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.microsoft.Excel.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

Problem with Entourage 2008 for Mac

I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go. I have Entourage 2008 for Mac. I continue to have a problem with the font reverting back to Calibri when I am composing an email. I've set up in Preferences the font I want, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Other than give up entirely on Apple and go back to a PC????? The whole Office 2008 program is horrible and whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.

Ummm...nobody at Apple designed it. It's a Microsoft product.

How to apply animations to ALL slides in Powerpoint 2011 for Mac

Hi - apologies for category of this posting as it applies to software, not the MBP exclusively. Could not find better location...?
I have powerpoint presentations that are from Powerpoint for Mac 2000 or something - recently upgraded to 2011, but my animations seem to have disappeared. Is there a way to apply animations to ALL slides in a presentation rather than doing each slide individually? I've searched online but have not found instructions that work for PPT2011 for Mac...
Thank you!

Interesting: I tried switching to a workspace where it's docked by default (Book), and it was properly docked (so it's definitely possible on my version/OS). I dragged it out so it started floating, and then couldn't put it back. (while docked, it does fix the F3 bug as expected)
Also, one funny thing that is happening is, about a quarter of the time I drag it into a place where I'd expect it to dock, the cursor turns into the Mac crashing beachball until I move it away again.
I guess this probably a sign something's corrupted. Will try deleting the preferences file when I've got some free time to set things back up again.
Another sign that something is probably corrupted: Ticking and unticking "Enable floating document window docking" makes no difference to anything. Ticked or unticked, I can still dock and undock all windows except the Tools palette.
Thanks

Sync problems with AME CS4 for Mac

Hi,
I've been trying to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to convert a 2 min video (MPEG2 Muxed, 29.97) to FLV/F4V, and the audio still does not sync to the video. I've tried in Sor. Spark, On2VP6, and H.264. I can't imagine it's a fps issue because in the Settings I always choose "same as source". Is there something else I should do that I'm not doing thus far?
For what it's worth: I'm using version 4.2.0.006.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Thanks for the reply. I am using Photoshop 11.0.1. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now. My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac. Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while. I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply. Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
The problems with Photoshop (starting with just taking a long time to load) have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software. I will report if problems go away.
Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere. However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively? Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

Print Problems with Elements 9 for Mac

I cannot print borderless (randlos) on format 10 x 15 (or any other) on my Printer Canon PIXMA MP970. With Elements 8 for Windows there is no problem. I have tried any possible combinations of adjustements and have the lates printer driver installed.

10 x 15 cm is a standard European paper size but the choice ist not available in the paper size selection. The choices avaiIable seem to be only American. I have to define it as user defined (Benutzerdefiniert). I have contacted Canon but they have no solution for this problem. It seems that PSE 9 for Mac and Canon printer drivers don't like each other. A least the German versions. With PSE 8 for Windows everything works fine. There the standard European paper sizes and borderless printing can be selected with no problem. As mentioned in other topics rotating is although a problem. Lucky enough I have also a Windows system with PSE 8.
