No Insert Flash dialog box in PPT files with links to Word

Presenter will not display the "Insert Flash (swf)" dialog box in PowerPoint presentations that have slides linked to a Word document.
It works fine in PPT presentations that do not have the links to Word.
I need to import a SWF in the presentation as well as have Word link to the slides in PPT.
Is there a solution?

The solution was to install a later version of Presenter. It works now.

How to insert a dialog box which prompt the user enter the general information in the SDI application?

Im using the SDI application to build a system and now i would like to insert a dialog box which allow the user to enter the general information about themselves and then it will be saved into a text file. How to insert the dialog box and show the dialog box at the beginning of the program.

Hi Lee,
The easyest way to achieve this is to declare an object of your dialog box derived class (e.g. CUserInfo, public CDialog) into the InitInstance method of the main application class.
Depending on the behavior you want you can place the code before dispatching the commands from command line (in which case the main frame of the SDI application will not be shown), or after, in which case the UserInfo dialog box will be shown over the main application window as modal.
The code snipped bellow can be more helpfull:
BOOL CSDIApp::InitInstance()
AfxEnableControlContainer();
// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
//prompt user for data
CUserInfo dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
//do something here with the data
else
return FALSE;//i.e. quit the application if the user presses the 'Cancel' button
// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
return FALSE;
// The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update it.
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
return TRUE;
Hope this helps,

Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

Compressor 4 insert DVD dialog box does not come up after rendering

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong when after rendering a DVD project, the process looks like its finished rendering but the insert DVD dialog box never comes up.
Very frustrating, but probably something dumb...
Thanks

Everything looks good in the Batch Window.
I'm guessing permissions or preferences, assuming it's not hardware.
Run Compressor Repair to flush things out…make sure the Trash Preferences box is checked.
Run Disk Utlity, select your boot drive and Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't do it, in Job Action, change output device to Hard Drive and se whether it will make a disk image.
Good luck.

Is it possible to add pic/diagram to SP file with link to another SP file?

Hi,
Is it possible to add a diagram, picture, or table to a SP file with link to another SP file?
I know this is possible in, say, Word. For example, I can add a diagram and check a box to include a link to the source file - so that when the diagram in the source file updates, the diagram in my document also updates.
This is also my goal in SP - instead of simply including a link to a document elsewhere in SP (or on the same site in SP), I would ideally like to display a diagram, picture, or table and include (behind the scenes if possible) to the source SP file
so that, when the diagram/table in the source SP file updates, my SP file also updates accordingly.
For example:
Instead of:
       The diagram is located in:
       link
I would ideally like:
       Diagram, picture, or table (with link associated with it) - users can click on the diagram or picture if they desire.
       The diagram or picture is updated whenever the source SP file containing the diagram or picture is updated (the source SP
       file will only contain a diagram, picture, or table)
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much.

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book

Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!

It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."

Open File dialog box in photoshop CS3 with cintiq 12wx

Hello all,
I can't be the only one with this problem. Whenever I open a file in CS3 on my Cintiq 12WX, the file open dialogue appears on my primary monitor instead of my cintiq. No matter what I do, it always appears there. Every other dialog box appears on the cintiq, except the open one. It is extremely frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Create Directory Dialog box without specifying file name

Hi all Programmers/Developers/JDC memebers
I would like to know in java is there any method or class which helps to give directory dialog box without specifying filename.
I mean to say if u have c,d,e drives and some directories under them
c:\dir1
c:\dir2
d:\dir1
d:\dir2
i want a dialog box,which dispalys all the directories of the selected drive and upon choosing/selecting that directory i should be able to get all the files under them.

Hi,
You can write a file filter for a JFileChooser, in the following way,
public class DirectoryFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
public boolean accept(java.io.File file)
boolean filter = false;
if(file.isDirectory())
filter = true;
return filter;
public String getDescription()
return "Directories only";
//in your code
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setFileFilter(new DirectoryFilter());
fileChooser.showOpenDialog() etc. etc..
There's one small issue, by default JFileChooser has a filter called all files filter which you can select from the combo labled "files of type" . So, your file filter won't apply if this filter is chosen.
To disable the all files filter
use
fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
and only if you are on jdk1.3 or greater since this is a private method in the JFileChooser in 1.2.2 .
Hope this helps,
regards,
Manish

Can't interact with flash dialog boxes[Solved- sorta]

Any time I try to interact with a dialog box produced by the flash plugin (such as the one that pops up with you right click a flash application and select "settings"), I am unable to do anything with it. That includes moving it, closing it, or manipulating any of the controls within it.
I've been googling for the last hour and haven't come up with any kind of solution. I even tried installing flashplugin9, gnash, and flashplugin-mozilla, and they all give the same result. Nor does changing browsers (I've tried opera, arora, swiftfox, and firefox) yield different results.
Thanks in advance for any insight into this issue.

I would try a different GTK2 theme first. Something not complicated like the default Raleigh theme.

Exchanging ppt files with PC - graphics issues

I often exchange PowerPoint files with my PC-using co-workers. In the files they send me, some graphics appear as solid black boxes. In the files I send to them, some graphics appear as solid white boxes.
They have tried copy/paste and insert graphics, but we still get inconsistent results using both methods. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
How can we avoid this problem? Any ideas?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

To iFelix - Most of the graphics are jpg files. The latest twist is that my co-workers get a message that they need quicktime in order to view the graphics in my ppt files - even though they are not movies - just still jpgs.
To Stephen - It turns out that my company has some additional security layers that would have to be peeled away in order for me to make a vpn connection from my Mac and they're not willing to do that. At least, that's what their PC IT geniuses tell me My solution is to make the vpn connection from Virtual PC. My need for the vpn connection is very infrequent, so it's not a big deal. It would be a hassle and very slow if you needed to work on a vpn daily.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
from Stevejones5
"I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library. (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

Print Dialog box has changed along with printing function

I installed the latest update and now when I print there is a new dialog box. The problem is on a multi page job it only pulls a few pages from the paper tray and then makes me use the manual feeder for the remaing pages, All paper sizes of the print job are the same and I only have one tray. I am printing on a Brother MFC 4860N. Any solutions? Thanks

Carolyn -
Thank you for your respose of 5/1/09 -- sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
1.) I tried your suggestion, but the problem is that Apple and HP have worked to include all/most of the HP software into OS X v. 10.4.11 and beyond. I did not find in my user/.../Library/Preferences .plist files directly referencing my HP 990 Cse printer, which was the only printer not displaying the Printer Dialogue Box.
Open your User/..../Library/Preferences to see the list of .plist files for HP and other manufacturers.
The open the [top level] your-hard-drive/library/Printers/HP to see the [root=basic] files which, I believe, are the actual OS X system files which are on the original System CD or are downloaded for the updates.
2.) I finally got the Printer Dialogue Box for the HP 990 Cse to work --
a.) I ran the OS X Printer Setup Utility app.
b.) I then dragged the icon for the HP 990 Cse printer to the trash; and emptied the trasn.
c.) Restarted the OS X.
d.) Ran the OS X Printer Setup Utillity app again
e.) When the HP 990 Cse did not appear in the list of printers I clicked the "Add" icon.
f.) I selected to add the HP 990 to the Printer List
g.) Nothing happened when I tried to access the HP 990 Printer Dialogue Box.
h.) I did a restart.
i.) I then did a print job using the HP 990.
j.) When the HP 990 icon appeared at the right end of the dock, next to the trash, I grabbed it and dragged it to the place in the dock where I wanted it to reside.
IT WORKS JUST GREAT NOW !!!!
Thanks for your help, as you helped me consider the problem at a deeper level.

Publishing narrated PPT files with Presenter

I work for a large department that is producing more and more narrated PPT presentations to post on our company intranet. I'm the only one who has Presenter, and in trying to keep the instructions simple, the process we've been using requires a USB microphone and the narrating feature in PPT. Basically, I extract the audio files from the PPT document, and package the whole thing together in Presenter. This worked well the first couple of times, but for whatever reason, it's turning into a lot of work for me. I'm going to have to come up with a better process, one that is easy and cheap (ie, free) for the users, but also pain-free for me.
What happens is that I save the PPT file as a web page, which extracts the audio files into separate .wav files, 1 for each slide. In a perfect world, the .wav files end up being named sound1, sound 2, sound 3 (for PPT slide 1, 2, and 3 respectively)... I think the only time that works cleanly is when the narrator does it right the first time, with no mistakes. But lately, every single file I've received ends up with sound files that are not sequentially numbered. Like I could end up with sound17, sound26, and sound128, and 128 might go with slide 5, and sound 17 might go with slide 30... It's bizarre! And since no one includes Notes in their PPT presentation (which will be a requirement in the new process), I end up having to listen to each recording in the original file and write down the first few words, so that I know which sound file goes with which slide!!
So... I'm working on developing a new Best Practice for this process, and the preferred method will be providing me with a PPT presentation (complete with Notes) and separate audio files that I can import using Presenter. I'm having a hard time selling my team on this, because the PPT narration system we had set up was so easy to use and easy to show our users, no one had to use unfamiliar software, no purchases were necessary. Now I'm saying that, while it's still free and nothing needs to be purchased, recording narration will have to be done using Windows Sound Recorder, or better yet, Audacity. Which means a whole new set of instructions, that for some of these folks around here may be difficult to grasp. But the sound quality would be better, and the time and effort required by me would be greatly reduced.
I've search all over the intranet with no luck, I was hoping to find an already established process for doing this that I could "borrow" from... does anyone have any advice, words of wisdom, expert opinion, etc??

You may get better Presenter responses in, surprisngly, the Connect forum...as Presenter seems to be more a subset of that tool than a standalone one.
While we actually have Presenter here, I've only used it once!
We also have Captivate and that's a more-frequent 'go to' tool for us than Presenter.
So the overall issue is, you can't convert PPTs that include audio with Presenter? The audio doesn't work or otherwise come through?
Are you SURE there's no way to do that? That you HAVE to separate out the audio first?
I'm almost certain that if you convert a PPT that contains audio with Captivate that the resulting Captivate file will not only retain the audio but keep in sync'd up with the related slides. It's certainly worth grabbing the trial version of Captivate to confirm that.
If CP doesn't do it for some reason, then surely Articulate Presenter would?
There are so many PPT conversion tools out there, one of them has to be an option to avoid the issue you're having.
So first, be sure Presenter is really limited the way it seems to be. If it is, try Captivate. Far better to get a more capable tool, I think, then try to disrupt an established process (as long as that process is worthwhile and effective, of course).
