My computer is converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps?

How do I stop my computer from converting downloads from a ppt file into a pps? When I download PowerPoint presentations from online for class my computer is converting the ppt files into a pps, even though I have PowerPoint. It used to download ppt files fine until recently.

Yep, this happens. I have not found a way to keep the files from downloading as a ,pps. So I use a work around. Find where you have the downloaded file. It should look something like "slides.ppt.pps." Click on the file name to edit and erase the .pps. You'll see a dialog box that asks you if you really want to eliminate the .pps. Say yes and it will be removed from the name and you can then load into PowerPoint. Hope it works for you.

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?

    How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
    I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
    Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.

    Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it.

  • Converting a ppt file into a rich pdf

    I am trying to find a way to convert my ppt file into a rich pdf so that the hyperlinks from the ppt appear on the pdf.
    Thanks

    Good morning Hug
    In my version of Powerpoint for Mac 2011 there is a dropdown panel that allows you to save it as a PDF format.

  • What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

    Hi,
    I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
    The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
    What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

    Hi,
    thanks for your answers so far!
    I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
    Alternative 1
    I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
    The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
    The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
    Alternative 2
    The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
    I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
    I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
    The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
    When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
    What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
    Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
    What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
    I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
    As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
    Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
    Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • Guideline Performance Initial Download from SAP for Utility into SAP CRM

    Hello,
    Please find below a link (valid for 10 weeks) to the document Guideline Performance Initial Download from SAP for Utilities into SAP CRM. The document is also published in the SAP Service Market Place at http://service.sap.com/utilities. Then choose Technical Information Center - Migration.
    The purpose of the document is to give guidelines as well as to share experience for an efficient and high performance execution of an initial download from an SAP for Utilities system to an SAP CRM system, such as:
    - Configuration of the initial download
    - Ensure optimum performance for the initial download of the relevant business objects
    - Avoid unnecessary business data being downloaded
    - Monitoring of the initial download and taking corrective actions in case of problems
    - Handle errors occurring during the initial download of business objects
    - Minimize performance bottlenecks
    The document explains the setup and configuration of the SAP for Utilities and SAP CRM systems only if necessary for the understanding of the solution of a described performance problem. This document does not cover the performance optimization of the delta down- and upload and the synchronization download.
    The document has the following structure:
    Chapter 1 describes the basics of an initial download
    Chapter 2 describes how to plan and execute tests to achieve an acceptable performance
    Chapter 3 describes the most important technical activities to prepare the involved systems
    Chapter 4 describes the most important functional activities to prepare the involved system
    Chapter 5 describes how to perform an initial download
    Chapter 6 describes measures to improve the performance of an initial download
    Chapter 7 provides a list of important repository tables
    Chapter 8 contains a list of important SAP Notes related to initial download
    I'd highly appreciate your valuable feedback on this document.
    Kind regards,
    Fritz

    Hi Fritz,
    sorry for the late late reply but I didn't notice your answer.
    Here are my answers:
    (1) I monitored the behaviour on the CRM system, CRM 7.0, SP5
    (2) The change should be implemented in the CRM system
    (3) Deactivate buffering for scenarios marketing, sale and service via SM30 and table T770MATTR.
    By doing this the initial load of 3.2 million business agreements took around 2 hours, with activated scenario buffering I was at least ten times slower.
    After the initial load you have to activate the buffering again.
    Interesting to know would be why the scenario buffering only affects the initial load of business agreements and no other object. As far as I know the scenario buffering is relevant for the organizational management.

  • Combine ppt files into pdf - picture issue

    Hello All,
    we are trying to combine several ppt files into one pdf document . Joining process went correctly, but some pictures in the final pdf are broken. If we try to save separate file to pdf, there is no issue. This issue is visible only during marging several ppts files into pdf. Please, do somebody know, where shoold be a problem ? (Office 2013, Adobe Acrobat XI)
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Peter

    Hi Peter Drgon,
    One possible solution would be to replace the broken images of the combined pdf with original ones.
    You can select the particular broken images from your ppt file and convert them to pdf,
    then import that image containing pdf into your combined pdf file and later you can use 'edit text and images' tools to replace the broken Image in your combined pdf file.
    Does that help? If you face any challenges or if i have misinterpreted your issue. Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Rahul

  • Reading one line from a text file into an array

    i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
    public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
         InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);
         String line = "";          
         try{
         int i = 0;
              while (line != null){                 
                   names[i] = reader.readLine();
                   score[i] = reader.readLine();
                   line = reader.readLine();
                   i++;                
              }catch (IOException e){
              System.out.println("Error in file access");
    this section calls it:
    try{                         
         FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("ISU.txt");
              HighScore.readAndProcessData(stream);
              stream.close();
              names = HighScore.getNames();
              scores = HighScore.getScores();
         }catch(IOException e){
              System.out.println("Error in accessing file." + e.toString());
    it gives me an array index out of bounds error

    oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
    They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

    hi,
    declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
    your flat files should be .txt files.
    now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
        EXPORTING
          filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'

  • How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

    Hi,
    I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
    Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
    Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
    I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
    Please let me know how can I do this.
    Thanks,
    Shilpi
