PowerPoint 2010 import - objects reposition themselves

Has anyone got a solution or a workaround for this problem please?
I've got a basic instructional presentation that I want to convert to video for porting to YouTube etc. but I've been experiencing an odd problem when importing it to Captivate and I can't find a solution here or via Google, etc.
The presentation was created in PowerPoint 2010 and consists of 24 simple slides. Each slide contains animated bullet points that fly up, images that appear on the screen, and some shapes to highlight certain areas.
The presentation is an into to MS Excel, so a slide opens with a title, a bullet point will fly in, a partial screenshot appears then an arrow and box to highlight a particular element, i.e. the formula bar. Nothing complex or fancy - simple bullets, images and shapes.
I've created a version of the presentation specifically for video that is identical by removing all mouse clicks and this runs fine in PowerPoint. When I create a new project in Captivate by importing the presentation it appears to work fine, but on close examination there is a problem with the slide layouts. For example, One one page I have 2 text boxes, one avove the other. In the Captivate project when I run the slide from the animation pane, preview it or publish it (any format) the two text boxes now overlap and are partially unreadable.
Similarly, on one slide a related image appears after a bullet point flies in. It works in PowerPoint, it's position has been shifted about an inch to the left in Captivate, right over the text.
FYI:
I've updated my version of Captivate to 5.0.3.631
I've gone back to the source presentation (with clicks) and that does the same
I've previously imported presentations from PowerPoint 2007 with no problems
I've previously imported presentations from PowerPoint 2010 that were created with PowerPoint 2007 with no problems
Our default format is 97-2003 for compatibility
I've tried importing the project as a .ppt and a full 2010 .pptx - no change
There are other occurences of the same type of actions in the same presentation and others and they run with no problems
I've tried rescaling the project but this makes no difference
I've tried resizing and slightly changing the position of the objects affected in PowerPoint to force a repositioning in Captivate but this makes no difference - the objects are still misaligned
I've tried deleting and recreating the project after changes - no difference
I've tried editing the slide via the right-click option in Captivate and saving - no change
I've tried editing the whole presentation via the right-click in Captivate and saving - no change
I'm just going to update my version of Flash from 10 to 11. Any other ideas please?

Nope - it's not Flash doing it.
How it looks in PowerPoint:
And here it is in Captivate (one shot is from a preview, the other from the editor version:
Note in the lh case the overlapping text in the 2nd and 3rd bullets from the bottom.
In the rh example, the fx graphic has jumped to the left, also the 4th and 5th bullets are overwriting each other.
Please also note that the fx and tick/cross box works fine in the lh example, but not in the right.

Adobe Presenter 7 and PowerPoint 2010. No Import audio from presentation button

Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
"movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
play the video.
The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
it will be released.
Thanks,
James

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Intermittent problems importing images into Captivate 5 from PowerPoint 2010 slides

Occasionally, when I import slides from a PowerPoint 2010 pptx file, certain of the images don't move over into captivate.
Most (if not all) of my images have been saved as .jpg files, so I don't believe that there would be problems with different file types. Some of the images may be saved at different quality levels; could this possibly affect the import process?
I can't identify what about these images somehow mark them as "different" to Captivate, and therefore prevents their importation.
Any help that can be provided is appreciated.

Hi Rahul,
I would but I am not the original poster. You will have to wait for JDPJDPJDPJDP to send you the file.

Powerpoint 2010 Audio not importing

I am a brand new user of Captivate 7. I have a large Powerpoint presentation that I have imported to Captivate, but none of the audio is present in the new presentation. Most of the audio was recorded in PPt Narration.
As far as I can tell from the very basic tutorials I have looked at, the audio should be there as a separate track?

Hi,
Can you confirm whether this audio is narration was imported in Captivate or recorded. I did notice that you mentioned that most of it narration. Does that mean you are not getting any audio in Captivate?
What powerpoint version were these files created?
Could you also confirm what is the extension of your powetpoint file is it PPT or PPTX, try saving it as PPTX and while importing check the box for High Fidelity and Slide duration and verify the results?
In case the audio in Powerpoint was imported make sure that the imported audio file is in the same folder where the PPT(x) resides.
Thanks,

Embedded youtube videos will no longer play in Powerpoint 2010

Since upgrading to Flashplayer 11, I can no longer play embedded youtube videos in powerpoint 2010. I get the error message that I have to upgrade Flashplayer. I have performed several clean installs, yet I continue to get the same error message stating that I have to upgrade Flashplayer. How do I correct this?

i know right here is one fix if u got 2010 powerpoint youtube did some changes thats not compatable with it . 1 way around it that might work for you is within the use old embeded code were it says version=3 change it # into 2 insted of 3. do this in both appeareances.
example <object width="1280" height="720"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rcqwRgVvvw?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1280" height="720" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
change the #3 to the #2 thats it. then paste it in your powerpoint insert video from web.

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps

Insert SWF into PowerPoint 2010?

When I wanted to insert a SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, I would use the More Controls dialog in PowerPoint's Developer tab to insert a Shockwave/Flash object. But in PowerPoint 2010, that control is missing from the dialog. Where did it go? When I click the Register Custom DLL, there's no obvious file to choose, either.
Has anyone else run into this? I'm not looking for a way to convert a SWF into a video that can be embedded or using a 3rd-party plug-in or anything like that. I know how to do those things. I'm specifically looking to insert a SWF using only what's built into PowerPoint and Flash, so if anyone has info on it, please let me know!

I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.

How to play a Quicktime movie in Powerpoint 2010

Powerpoint 2010 is supposed to be able to play Quicktime movies as long as Quicktime Player is installed on the computer. I have the player installed but the MOV video won't play. My Powerpoint is 32-bit, running on 64-bit Windows 7. According to what I've read the Quicktime needs to be 32-bit as well for this to work, but I don't know if the player I have installed is 32-bit or 64-bit. Any suggestions?

Hi,
There may be 2 scenarios for this:
1. The logo animation in the logo.swf is within a movieclip and has a stop() function called in the last frame.
Solution:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var logoSWF:MovieClip;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playLogo);
function loadLogo() {
    var url:String = "logo.swf";
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    timer.start();
    var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo( event.currentTarget );
    logoSWF = MovieClip( loader.content );
    addChild(logoSWF);
function playLogo(event:Event=null):void {
    logoSWF.logo.play(); //"logo" is the instance name in logo.swf
loadLogo();
2. The logo animation in the logo.swf in in the main timeline and has astop() function in the main timeline.
Solution:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loader:Loader;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playLogo);
function loadLogo() {
    var url:String = "logo1.swf";
    loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    timer.start();
    var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo( event.currentTarget );
    addChild(loader.content);
function playLogo(event:Event=null):void {
    MovieClip( loader.content ).play();
loadLogo();

Unable to insert or drag and drop PDF file into PowerPoint 2010

Hi all. I am trying to drag and drop a PDF file into a power point file (PowerPoint 2010). However, power point responded with the error "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error. You
may need to reinstall the server application". I also tried to use the Insert feature "Insert --> Object --> Choose from file", yet also getting this same error message. This is what I've tried:
a) I've tried to disabled the Adobe Protected Mode on Adobe Acrobat Reader 11, yet no luck.
b) Also tried on a machine got Adobe Reader 9 installed, still getting the same error message
c) Tried to register the OLE library, no luck
I haven't tried to re-install Office 2010. It looks like this is a Office 2010 issue, have any one of you encountered this issue and is there a solution for it? Drag and drop Excel and Word file into power point is working fine. Thank you.

I would suggest you try a complete re-install and see if issue persists.
I know I know, but you've already tried the Most Possible solutions (disable the protected mode/ register the OLE libray). It might worth trying a complete uninstall and re-install.

Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".

When using in BI SAP NetWeaver 2004s (700 - SP 15) the transaction ST04old -> Detail analysis menu -> Summary report
The following short dump occurs:
Runtime Errors CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
Except. CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
Date and Time 19.11.2008 15:14:08
Short text
Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TS_CHECK".
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLSTD4" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
not caught in
procedure "DB02_ORA_FILL_TS_CHECK__CRITOB" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated
by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "TS_CHECK", the component no. 4 in the
dataset has a different type from the corresponding component
of the target object in the program "SAPLSTD4".
The data type is "I" in the dataset, but "N" in the program.

Only related SAP Note is SAP Note Number 597743 "DB02: Poor entries for critical objects list", but not applicable for current SAP version.
For me strange is that this issue occurs on the development system, but not on the acceptance and production system.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Received the solution from SAP Active Global Support:
This error occurs due a corruption in the table MONI.
For solving this issue you need to clean the records of this table via the following path :
1. Call transaction ST03
2. With GOTO -> Performance database -> Content of database
3. Push button Delete data group
4. Enter ID DB
5. Continue
6. Confirm the delete
If you wish to backup the data before deleting the entry please follow the steps in the note 1000275 "DB02: history data backup procedure".

Unable to Import objects into ID

Hi All,
For your support I have completed the development work and I have moved to Quality from Development. But while trying to import the one scenario in to Quality System from Development in XI, I am getting the following Error:-
Internal error: Unable to transfer changes for object Service | Q14CLNT120 to change list "XI 3.0 Import" (9a590f30-7245-11dc-9266-00306ee97ef1) since object still in change list "XI 3.0 Import" (3ae5e660-701d-11dc-942e-00306ee97ef1)
I have somehow managed to import another scenario last week into Quality, although now I am unable to import. But while trying to activate the imported scenario into Quality System I am getting another Error as below:-
Unable to move object. Change lists were not part of the same import
I tried to activate the change list..but no woek.
Could anyone please advice?

Have you checked the GUID in SLD in both the systems?
SLD-->Software Components, to check the GUID.
You can do one thing, first of delete imported objects which are not getting activated from QA, also delete the SWCV from Integration Repository.
Note: Before deleting SWCV, make sure any other working objects are not there in the same SWCV.
Now, if SWCV & GUID in both systems are same then again:
1. Export the objects from Dev (.tpz file)
2. Imort the same .tpz file to QA system.
Now go to Repository of QA and
1. Tools --> Import Design Objects
2. Tools --> Transfer from system landscape Directory --> Update Application Components.
Select your components and press Finish button.
And finally try to Acitvate your objects.

Trial version of Adobe presenter 9 install error in Powerpoint 2010 with windows 7 64 Professional

Today I tried to install Adobe Presenter 9 on a Windows Porfessional 64 bits Platform.
After the installatieon Powerpoint 2010 has no tab of the presenter, because I have an (old) installation problem?
Please HELP.

Hi,
Make sure you have installed 32-bit Presenter if you have 32-bit Powerpoint. If you would have installed 64-bit Presenter for 32-bit Office then you would land up in this situation.
Let me know whether this helped.
