Powerpoint 2013 and Groupwise 8

Hi All;
I've recently deployed a few machines that have had Office 2013 installed on them from the factory. Our standard build has Groupwise client 8.0.2 as our email client. End users have admin rights to their machines. They are able to open Word and Excel attachments and shared documents without issue (double click from within the message), they are unable to open PowerPoint documents however. I can see the powerpoint process start and run for about 10 seconds, then shut back down. I had made sure integrations are turned off. If the user right clicks the message and performs a 'Save As", they can save the file locally and open it. Has anyone else seen problems with Groupwise 8.0.2 and Office (PowerPoint) 2013?
TIA

Give it a try with the newest GW 8.03 client as that is the sort of thing
that could have been fixed. 8.02 was pre Microsoft office 2013

Having issues with workstations running Win7 and Office 2013. If you open the mail settings under the control panel only the Outlook address book is listed. Frequent contacts doesn't populate either in Groupwise and no address books are listed as available. Any fixes for this? Groupwise 8 running on NW 6.5

We have the same problem, aparently is related with outlook. When we uninstalled office 2013, the adress book is listed and works properly.

Slow spooling and printing from Powerpoint 2013

Has anyone experienced slow spooling and printing of PowerPoint documents from PP 2013?
If I attempt to print the same document from PP2010, it spools and prints normally. It seems that the document background has something to do with slowness.
I saw an older KB where Microsoft suggested to disable background printing. Disabling background printing makes it even worse.
Thanks
here is a link to a PowerPoint file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hle8x32j6wemday/SLOW.pptx?dl=0

Hi,
Does this only happen with PowerPoint documents? What about other Office files? How many machines are affected by this issue?
Please first check whether you have the same print settings in PowerPoint 2013 and 2010.
Also, if this is a network printer, please try to add it as a local printer, then try again and see if issue persists.

Powerpoint 2013 Plugin Example using SDK2 and Gestures

Hi all
Does anyone have an example of a powerpoint add-in using VS2013 U4, Powerpoint 2013 and SDK2?
I am using the Kinect Nuget package but keeping getting an IO exception when loading gesture objects.
Apparently the Gesture Runtime is having trouble loading AdaBoostTech.dll and RFRProgressTecg.dll even through both are present in the correct bin folder as the Nuget install script sets this up.
Also tried the older WPF way from the samples using the post build script to copy the dlls
xcopy "$(KINECTSDK20_DIR)Redist\VGB\$(Platform)\vgbtechs" "$(TargetDir)\vgbtechs" /S /R /Y /I
But I still get the DirectoryNotFoundException. Must be something in the way the plugin loads dlls.

Some additional information:
I am using firefox 18.0.2.
I can't copy of the text from the "about:support" page in firefox because when I type that in the address bar, firefox immediately crashes.

I am not able to install adobe presenter 10 in my MS powerpoint 2013

I am trying to install Presenter 10 and it is asking me to insert a disk even though I downloaded the installation file. I am trying to install Presenter 10 on Windows 8, PowerPoint 2013 and have chosen the 32-bit option to install.
I downloaded it from the adobe website:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=presenter
when I tried to install by Setup file it was showing the following error....
And I try to install through Presenterwin32 setup file, installation started by at 2%, it asked me to insert disk.
Plz help me.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Please copy the contents of a common folder to the Presenter32 bit or Presenter64 bit which one you are trying to install.Please check the scree shot mentioned below. You need to copy all the contents from common folder to Presenter 64 bit or 32 bit and paste it inside the payloads folder.
Then try to install .
Please let me know if that works.

Cannot Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

I have the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Release v1.0, Internet Explorer version 10 (10.0.9200.17183), Office 2013 Professional 32-bit, and a SharePoint 2010 environment. I cannot publish slides to the SharePoint environment at all. When
I attempt to do so from PowerPoint 2013, I receive an error indicating all slides (X of X) failed to upload. When I attempt to use the option in the SharePoint 2010 Slide Library (Upload > Publish Slides) I receive the error of "This feature
requires Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Either the application is not installed, or your browser is not configured to support ActiveX controls."
I have added the URL for the site in question to my "Trusted Sites" in Internet Explorer 10. I read through the KB 2716529. There is no TabProcGrowth registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but there is one under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
and the value is set to "Medium" which appears to be accurate. I tried running the "Fix it For Me" option offered with that KB, and the wizard indicated the problem could not be found on my computer.
How can I resolve this issue? Utilizing slide libraries is a very important feature of SharePoint for my organization, and going back to Office 2010 is simply not an option.

Hi Jen_O,
According to your description, my understanding is that you were unable to publish Slides into SharePoint 2010 with Office 2013.
For narrowing this issue, let's verify the followings:
Please test on other machines with the same system configuration, compare the result.
Please test on other machines with 32-bit system and IE 10, compare the result.
Whether you are able to publish Slides from Windows 7 and Office 2013 32-bit.
Whether this issue occurres for all slide files with Office 2013.
Please create a new slide in PowerPoint 2013, and check if it could be uploaded into a new Slide library.
In addition, Office Web Apps (as part of SharePoint 2010) allow SharePoint users to view and edit Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc.) from within the browser. Typically we can click on a link to a PowerPoint, for example in a document library,
and be taken to a new page to present PowerPoint.

PowerPoint 2013 Insert Online Video not available

Hello
Just trying out PowerPoint 2013 and I noticed I am not able to insert a video.
Proceeding to Insert tab, Media ribbon, and then "Online Video..." brings up a screen that only says "Sign in with your Microsoft account to insert photos and videos from Facebook, SkyDrive, and other sites.
I wish to use embed code to insert a YouTube video.

The process is right. Currently using embed code or insert Online video is causing a lot of problems in PowerPoint 2013. One day it works, and another it doesn't. We are all waiting for Microsoft/Google/Adobe to sort this out.

PowerPoint 2013: New problem experienced in last seven days - Placeholders not taking objects Cut from them and attempted to re re-anchored.

Hello,
I am running Office 2013 Professional Plus and in PowerPoint 2013 (15.0.4605.1000 64 bit) on Windows 8.
Ihave always been able to anchor content to placeholders (tables, text, images, and so on). In the last week this is no longer the case if an object has been anchored already.
For example, I have an existing slide with a Content placeholder, and a table anchored to it. I cut the table, reselect my placeholder to get the white handles, and attempt to paste. It will paste the table as it was, but it is no longer anchorable to a
placeholder.
This is a critical issue for us as we are about to upgrade our corporate brand/template and be required to upgrade thousands of documents and hundreds of thousands of pages of content.
Can anyone advise a workaround? This is my first post on MDN and apologize for any missing elements.
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN Forum.
Since the issue is more relate to the end-user, I'd like to move it to
Office2013 pro general discussions forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

How to burn a powerpoint 2013 presentation to a DVD R and or USB flash drive.

My Powerpoint 2013 slideshow includes photo's, clip art with transitions and animations and embedded music.   I want to
burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive and send it to a friend.   My friend has a windows 7 desktop
computer and a DVD player attached to a TV.   Ideally I want to know how to burn the presentation to a DVD so that the presentation can be played back on the TV using the DVD player.    I do not want to lose any of the transitions
or animations when I burn the presentation to a DVD.          I know most TV's have a USB connection but have no idea how this works if the
presentation is copied to a USB flash drive.   What are my best options to keep the integrity of the presentation intact, and how do I go about doing this?   I need detailed instructions please.   Thanks in advance
for your assistance.

Hi,
The factor of keeping the integrity of presentation when you burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive depends on performance of DVD disk and USB flash drive.
There are two ways to put PowerPoint presentation on a DVD convert PPT to video.
1. Convert PPT Files To DVD is to use a screen capture software.
2. Convert and Burn PowerPoint Presentation onto DVD would be to use a professional PowerPoint to DVD converter software.
For more detail information:
http://worldclassmedia.com/how-to-convert-powerpoint-files-to-dvd-put-a-powerpoint-presentation-on-tv/
If your TV doesn’t have built-in processors or Windows installed, it can’t run PowerPoint presentations in their native environment from a USB connectors. If so, you should convert it to video format first.

Creating a new chart in PowerPoint 2013 with Chart Styles applied

In PowerPoint 2013 when I manually insert a new chart into a slide, the chart automatically has the Chart Style "Style 1" applied. This has the effect of setting the font sizes of chart labels to 12.
However, no Chart Styles are applied if I try to add a new chart to PowerPoint 2013 using the following C# code:
var ppt = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application();
var presentation = ppt.Presentations.Add();
var layout = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutChart;
var slide = presentation.Slides.Add(1, layout);
var shapes = slide.Shapes;
shapes.AddChart();
Font sizes seem to default to 18. Is there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
I am aware of the Chart.ChartStyle property but it only seems to change chart colors and legend placement, not font size. There is no Macro recorder in PowerPoint, so I can't generate VBA code to replicate the action of creating a new chart.

Hi
>> there any way to create a chart or to set Chart Styles using Interop so that it matches a chart produced manually (i.e. has Chart Styles applied)?
You can add using shapes.AddChart2() instead of the last sentence shapes.AddChart(), I have tested in my projects, if I using AddChart(), the label size and the space will be different from manually insert a chart into a slide, but AddChart2() is the same
with manually operating.
And This object, member, or enumeration is deprecated and is not intended to be used in your code.
More details you cab refer to the following link

Powerpoint 2013 throwing 'File in Use' errors when saving to a network drive, file is NOT in use

One of our sites is having a strange issue when saving to a network location in Powerpoint. I'm not sure it's a Powerpoint problem, but it's a place to start...
When saving a ppt to a mapped network drive (the client is running Windows 8 / Office 2013, the network drive is a DFS share, pointed to a Server 2012 machine if that matters), users will almost always get the following error:
"Someone else is working in (filepath\name) right now. Please try again later."
This happens regardless of where the file is being saved on the network drive, in fact it happens even when there is no pre-existing file with that name in the location. So, even if I'm saving a brand new copy of test.pptx to F:\Share\PPT where there
is not currently a test.pptx, I get the error.
Word, Excel, and all other tested apps save properly. Powerpoint can save correctly to the local computer, but not to the network drive or to My Documents (which redirects to the same network drive).
When the error pops up, if I look in Open Files in Computer Management on the Fileserver, I see the file I'm trying to save listed as being open, but it shows 'Disconnected' rather than a username.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - again, not sure that this is a Powerpoint problem - could be Windows 8 or some mysterious DFS thing...
Thanks.

Hello,
Been having a very similar issue in our environment and just came across this thread while Googling and looking for answers.
In our case, we have Windows 7 clients and 3 main files servers - 2 are Server 2008 R2, and one is Server 2012. We use PeerLink File Collaboration to sync the files between
the servers (similar concept to DFS).  For us, it seems to happen specifically with Excel 2013, and only when saving to the Server 2012 file server. I can reproduce the message pretty much every time. After seeing your post,
I tried it in Powerpoint just out of curiosity, but it saved properly - Word saves properly as well.
Been doing a bunch of testing to try and narrow it down, and this is what I've found:
Excel 2013 -> Server 2012 = error message.
Excel 2013 -> Server 2008 R2 = no error message.
Excel 2010 -> Server 2008 AND Server 2012 = no error message.
<o:p>We've been leaning towards the PeerLink replication as the culprit up to this point, but last night I did some testing with the PeerLink Collaboration turned off, and
still received the error message.. so now I'm even more confused!
I see that it's been a few months since your post.. have you made any progress here?</o:p>

PowerPoint 2013 - We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable

Windows 7 running Office 2013. Mature installation no recent changes.
Simple update to ppt file created in 2003 ( using Compatibility mode). Single user edit saving to my documents
Error Message "We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable" / "Please save your presentations and restart PowerPoint"
PowerPoint no longer allows me to save any file in any format without this message.
Actions taken : Restart PowerPoint / Reboots / Deletion of temporary files from C:/Windows/Temp
Problem persists

I had this problem with Win81, PowerPoint 2013, pptx file, no system/software changes or updates that could be blamed. Out of the blue working on an existing document, messages as OP wrote started plaguing PPT. Brand new pptx files created with benign random
text also suffered from this. A save or two within the first 30 seconds of opening or creating the file sometimes went ok, but problem appears inevitably - implicating file lock issue.
There is remarkably little commonality in resolutions of this on the web, and no resolution from MS.
Tried many of the suggestions that can be found - no joy.
Finally isolated this to the live sync on DropBox. If DropBox is active (immediately syncing changes in the background), the problem persists. If DropBox is paused, the problem ceases. DropBox does not need to be removed or exited. If unpaused, problem
immediately starts again. Have not been able to check if other syncing cloud drives have same effect.
What's disturbing is that the DropBox/PowerPoint combination on this machine has been working fine for 1+ years. Turning off DropBox is not an acceptable solution. Perhaps a silent update of one or the other occurred to cause this.

Unable to edit Visio 2013 drawing in Powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm unable to edit drawings created in Visio 2013 that I've embedded in Powerpoint 2013 - they copy over as pictures and I can only edit them as such.
Interestingly, I CAN edit Visio 2013 drawings that I have embedded in Powerpoint 2002/XP.
I'm embedding by simply copying the drawing and then pasting on the slide.
Thanks,
Tyson

Open PowerPoint 2013, go to Insert tab > Object > Create a new "Microsoft Visio Drawing", I can edit the drawing what I wanna edit.
open Visio 2013, create a new Drawing File and save as .VSDX file format, and then drag and move this file into a new creaing PPT, I can still edit it as expected.
A bit more background information and your exact steps how you got to this point would be helpfu

How do I Update PowerPoint 2013 Slide Deck Preview Thumbnail?

I often copy previous presentations and revamp them for my next presentation. I notice that after changing the title slide in PowerPoint 2013 the embedded thumbnail.jpeg file is not updated. Ordinarily I would not care, but recently I am presenting to two
competing comanies and I cannot have the branding for one company on the presentation for another.
Short of completely recreating the deck, is there a way to force the update of the thumbnail.jpeg file in the PPTX?
Thanks!
Matthew
Matthew McDermott, MVP SharePoint

OK, I discovered that You can go to Backstage and chose Properties | Advanced Properties | Summary | Save preview with picture. Uncheck and save then recheck and save and PowerPoint will refresh the thumbnail...unless it doesn't. Which was true for half
of my decks.
For those I:
Renamed the file to zip
Deleted the thumbnail.
Renamed the file back to PPTX
Opened in PowerPoint.
Let PowerPoint perform the repair.
Toggle the preview setting as above
