Powerpoint 2010 not reading Powerpoint 2007

My work colleagues have Powerpoint 2007. I have powerpoint 2010.
When we exchange presentations, all works fine UNLESS there is a chart with data (e.g bar charts, web charts) - and then the data is not visible to those with a different powerpoint. Any ideas what is happening? Everything else is fine with the
compatability. I have tried opening in PPTX and then saving under PPT but still no data.

Did you mean even when you save the pptx file to .ppt, chart still cannot be displayed?
In most occasions, Powerpoint 2007 should be compable with PowerPoint 2010.
We recommend you upload your document to Skydrive, so we can get into it to help you better.

Why can I not see PowerPoint 2007 comments in KeyNote 09?

I created a KeyNote presentation for my class in KeyNote and saved it to a PowerPoint 2003 format (teacher request). I sent it off to the teacher, who used PowerPoint 2007 to add comments using the comments feature on the review tab, who then sent it back to me.
I opened the presentation in KeyNote and there are no notes shown. I made sure the SHOW COMMENTS option was selected in the file menu but they are nowhere to be seen.
I will note that there were no errors in the compatibility box when I opened it in KeyNote. I do have a copy of PowerPoint 2007 in BootCamp and the comments do show. But I'd rather, for obvious reason, use KeyNote.
Can someone help?

PowerPoint 2007 Notes Pages to PDF = low quality

We're battling a problem here where, when printing a presentation's notes pages from PowerPoint 2007 to PDF, the result has very jagged, low quality font edges. However when printing the same presentation from PowerPoint 2003, the fonts are smooth and perfect. The same result occurs making a PDF with PDF Creator, Nuance PDF Professional 5, etc. BUT, when we print the presentation's notes pages directly to the printer (a Xerox 6060 in this case), the presentation looks perfect as well.
Because of this, I can't tell where to start looking for help, here or Microsoft. I want to think that PowerPoint 2007 is outputting garbage to the PDF Maker, but like I said, when I print the notes pages directly to the printer, it looks fine.
Is there anyone experienced out there that can help shed some light on this issue please?

I assume that 2007 and 2003 of PPT were on different machines. I suspect it is either in the setup of PPT or you are not embedding fonts in the PDF. Be sure you are NOT using the Standard settings file, but select Print or Press.

MS Powerpoint 2010 Notes Pages and Acrobat 9 Pro

Does anyone have a print solution that allows Notes pages print in Acrobat 9 Pro? Blank pages print or the notes only and not the slide will print. We made a mistake by upgrading our whole department to MS Office 2010, not knowing that Acrobat (which is what we used to prepare our printed material) is NOT compatible with MS Office 2010. I saw that we "have to wait for the next version of Acrobat"? We need help! Does anyone have a solution?

Found a solution! Adobe support confirmed that since Office 2010 came out after Acrobat 8 or 9, it has not been tested and the PDF creator in powerpoint will not print notes pages. We used Bullzip PDF creater (http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php) a free download. This is an available print option from within powerpoint afer you install the small file. This DID print the Notes pages correctly. After its initial creation, any additional .PDF work is being down from within Acrobat 9 (headers, footer, creating a Portfolio, etc.).

Presenter 10 and Upgrade of PowerPoint From PowerPoint 2007 to PowerPoint 2010

When converting from PowerPoint 2007 to PowerPoint 2010 I imagine that Presenter 10 needs to be uninstalled and re-installed. Correct?
Any know issues with the above?
Thank you.

Hi There,
Yes you need to uninstall Adobe Presenter first before upgrading your Office as Presenter is an addin to the PowerPoint. As such there is no issues using Presenter 10 in Office 2010.

Can't view Powerpoint 2007 thumbnails in Bridge CS5 (Win 7)

I can view 2003 (win) files (saved from Powerpoint 2007) as thumnails in Bridge, but thumbs for 2007 files (*.pptx) are not generated.
Any ideas?
Windows 7
Bridge CS5.5 (4.1.0.54)

I have seen screenshots with PPTX thumbnails visible. I believe these Bridge thumbnails appear on WinXP installs so I'm thinking there is a Win7 aspect to this...
Using a Mac with CS6 I tried a pps, ppt and a pptx file and all of them only show as Powerpoint icon and none have a thumbnail with preview of the content.
Also tried it with Apple Keynote, the Mac PP equivalent and here I checked the option to include a preview of the file but same result, just an icon of Keynote application.
Looking at the file type associations their is neither support for Powerpoint not Keynote so it does not seem possible.
The screenshot from your memory is probably manipulated or you suffer from good memory like we all seem to do every now and then...

Animations doesn't work when publishing from PPTX (Powerpoint 2007)

I have Presenter 7.0.2 (build 7464), running over PowerPoint
2007, and all the animations based on activators are not
controllable after publishded.
What I need is the same behave of published flash contents
as the powerpoint presentation permits:
- For example, one action button, uppon click on it,
activates some animations effects on others object elements.
Does the Adobe support (Platinum plans), or any of you that
hoppefully had already fix an way to avoid this, can help on this ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Today I have found the 7.0.5 Update, build 7588, for Presenter 7, so I started to think that my long issue concerning the animations problem could be over with this update ... but it did not! :-(
After the update installation, the same presentation gives me the same wrong behavior.
It seams that the animations triggered by activators used on PowerPoint 2007 presentations continue without any support.
Is that right ?

Problem with printing from Powerpoint 2007

Am printing to pdf from Powerpoint 2007 (using Acrobat 8.1.4), using the Print>Select Printer>Adobe PDF route, but the pdfs that are being created look terrible (distorted, washed out colours, etc) and print even worse. Is there an incompatibility problem, or has a setting gone awry? Thanks in advance.

It may vary. I have seen some strange results from OFFICE 2007, where there apparently are some hooks built into the MS software. You might try with OFFICE 2003 or OpenOffice. I have used OFFICE 2003 for some things and gotten excellent results, where OFFICE 2007 created issues. I know that it is OFFICE 2007 since I also played with different versions of Acrobat for Office 2007 and got the same strange results, where things were fine with OFFICE 2003. There may be an issue with the
I just created a new PDF from PPT 2007 and the results were looking fine. For folks to be able to comment more effectively, they need to be able to duplicate what you did and I am not sure that can be done with the information you have provided. Specifically, what job settings file did you use in the Adobe PDF printer, etc.

FM 8 and MS Powerpoint 2007

When using Powerpoint 2003, I was able to copy a slide and paste into a graphics box in FM8. After upgrading Powerpoint to 2007, when I paste a slide into FM 8 , any vertical text appears as a mirror image (backwards). How can I get Powerpoint 2007 slides into my FM 8?!?!
Of course, this is urgent!
Thanks!

...any vertical text appears as a mirror image (backwards). How can
I get Powerpoint 2007 slides into my FM 8?!?!
The text is not mirrored. Instead, it is running bottom to top. Maybe
you need to rotate the lines 180° in the original. The fonts throughout
the document are horribly kerned, which is one of the signs of font
substitution. It looks like the font used to compose the document is
missing on your computer.
I rarely use PowerPoint-- and I don't believe that FM supports it
directly-- so I imagine the best way to get a graphic out of PowerPoint
is to save as either EPS or PDF and import the result into FrameMaker by
reference (rather than by copy).

Import powerpoint 2007 animation to Captivate 3

I've created a single-slide presentation in powerpoint 2007
that has an animated smart art that flys on to the screen. I saved
my powerpoint 2007 file as a ppt not pptx. I imported the file to
Captivate 3 as animation. but when I preview the project, the
animation just shows up as a non-animated object. It doesn't have
any of the animated qualities of the original powerpoint.
See this link to see what I'm talking about:
http://screencast.com/t/zgTOYx35Bd

I would agree that recording the animation as it plays in PPT
could help. That is how I have done several of my animations rather
than import them.
What I have found in the process is make sure you set the
Captivate screen to only cover the area of powerpoint where the
animation takes place. That is, you can have powerpoint in a slide
view and click the play test button to record but only record the
slide area.
Another thing you may want to do is be sure the animation in
powerpoint has a delay to begin with. This gives you time to first
click record (I am using full motion recording here) and let the
captivate red box go a way and then click the Play button in
powerpoint.
This sounds kind of crazy as I type it here but it works.
Trying to record a complete powerpoint slide show was more
problimatic to me than doing it the way I describe. For one thing,
the resulting animation is very large. I prefer the smaller slide
size animation/recording.
I hope this help. Still not sure what else to to tell
blueharmony.

What is the best way to convert from PowerPoint 2007 to PDF?

Greetings people,
In PowerPoint 2007 I know you can convert to a PDF by way of printing, save as or from the Adobe menu. However, these produce different results.
Is there a reason for this? Can settings be changed to ensure the results are the same regardless of what method is used?
Is there a rule of thumb on which method is best?
Thank you, Jean

A lot depends on what you are after. If you use the printer, you will likely need to use a custom page setting to fill out the page properly and not leave spaces on the sides. I think the standard PPT page is 8.5X10, not 11. PDF Maker (or the Save As Adobe PDF) in PPT sets the size appropriately when I have used it. PDF Maker also adds links and such as appropriate, but the printer does not. Your other option is to use the Save As PDF or XPS which is the MS conversion.
When I tested, the print did go to an 8.5X11 with a border to fit on the page. The other three techniques created the PDF in the same page size as the PPT. The PDF maker and Acrobat menu methods gave the same results, but the file was about 2X the size of the MS method. I did not check the properties that created this different size, but you would have to look at the different options for the creation and see how they compare. The Adobe approach can be kept small also, but may not have used the same options as the MS approach.
If there were links, then the print will not embed these links and bookmarks, but the other techniques will. Maybe that helps some.

Cannot embed 3D PDF into powerpoint 2007

Hello:
I can't embed 3D model from .pdf file into powerpoint 2007.
Followed all instructions, the 3D model is captured from VMD program using acrobat 3d 8.0,
it is saved automatically as .pdf file,
it is able to open and rotate in the acrobat reader,
then in powerpoint 2007, when i want to embed it,
i click the embed 3D button, the add 3d data window appear,
but in the file selection, the .pdf file is not supported.
only those .u3d, .cad, ... are supported, and i tried these, they can be embeded.
but i am confused, how can i really embed the .pdf file to powerpoint?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for both of your help.
I am still not quite understand how the OCX means.
Does it mean the "embed 3D" button appeared in powerpoint or some other kind of software?
Currently what I did is export the 3d model in the .pdf to a .u3d file.
then I can choose the .u3d file and embed it since this format is supported. And I can rotate it in powerpoint. But the only problem is it's now in perspective view and I cannot change it to orthographic view inside the powerpoint.
Even in the .pdf I set the default view to orthographic, the exported and embeded is still perspective.
So is there any way to export it as orthographic model?

Embedding SWF into Powerpoint 2007....

I use this method to place a SWF in Powerpoint 2007. (see below).
My question is... how do I make the path relative and not absolute? So whatever path/destination I put in the "Movie" property is absolute and if and when I sent this PPTX file to someone (like in a folder) the SWF no longer plays. I wanted to make a path that is relative... so instead of putting "C:\Use\Profile\Desktop\Flash.swf" I wanted to know if I could do something like "Flash.swf" and then it'll play the SWF since it'd be in the root (or maybe a subfolder).
Place SWF in Powerpoint 2007:
1. Click Office Button.
2. Click “Powerpoint Options”
3. Under the “Popluar” tab check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon”. Click OK
4. Click the “Developer” tab.
5. Click the “More Controls” button (wrench/hammer icon)
6. Choose “Shockwave Flash Object”. Click OK.
7. Cursor turns to crosshairs. Drag box to house the object.
8. In the “Properties” pop-up, find “Movie”.
9. Under “Movie”. Paste in the path of the file. (i.e. C:\Users\Profile\Desktop\flashAnimation.swf
a. Try to put the SWF in the same root location as the PPTX.

You can insert a .swf file into PowerPoint using the method you described with both an absolute and a relative path. But that will just insert it and play it as a linked file.
What you seem to want to do is to embed the file. That's tricker. The .pptx file extension apparently has a known and unfixed bug that won't let you embed a .swf. There's nothing out there, that I could find that may be of help. But you could try these two steps:
In the properties panel for the insered swf, find the EmbedMovie property and set it to "True".
Then Save As... your Presentation to the older file format (.ppt not .pptx). This may show up in the Save menu as "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation".
This may work, you should take note that the file size should increase significantly. If the Presentation's file size doesn't increase, then you know it hasn't been embedded and the animation will not play if you email the file (because it's not included).

Powerpoint 2007 Organization Chart two shape point to one shape

I am using PowerPoint 2007 and created a Organization Chart. I created 3 shape and named A, B and C. A and B is the first level and C is the second level. How to make A and B point to C? I tried all option of add shape but not work. Please help! Thank you!

Hmm. I must be doing something wrong. So here is what I did.
I created a shape that is just two points to create a line, as you did with your mask version. Then I made a null for the "Kite" layer you used. I then put in your expression, replacing "Kite" with the name of my layer. The expression then gives me this error:
"AE Warning: property or method named '2' in Class 'Array' is missing or does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved, deleted, or the name may have been mistyped. A property expression referencing it was disabled.
'Scale' (line 7) of layer 3 ('Shape Layer 1') in comp 'Comp 1'
Also, I am using the latest version of AE in case that matters. Thanks in advance for any help.
