Powerpoint slide design preview

Using Office 2004 on iMac with 10.5.4.
Problem: In Powerpoint go to Format/Slide Design and a list of possible designs comes up. If you click on one it shows a little powerpoint icon. However, on a 10.4.x machine instead of the powerpoint icon it shows a preview of the design which makes it pretty quick and easy to pick the design you want.
Question: Anyone know how to turn on this feature in 10.5?
Thanks
Jim Pattison

Did you mean that is a better place to find the answer or did you mean the answer is there? Because if it is the former, then I respectfully disagree as I think this is an OS issue not an Office issue (since it works fine on 10.4). Of course, I could be wrong-won't be the first time.

  • Text Caption Boxes on imported PowerPoint slides

    I have imported a number of PowerPoint slides (with an image)
    into a Captivate movie. Text is needed on these slides so
    originally I created the text on the PPT slides, but when imported
    into Captivate the text formatting and spacing was all messed up.
    So, I had to reimport those PPT slides with no text. After
    reimporting, I used Text Caption Boxes to enter the text onto those
    PPT slides. When published, those text boxes display small white
    boxes (white is the text color) everywhere I used the space bar in
    the text boxes (after a bullet, etc.) The white boxes do not show
    when previewing or editing in Captivate.
    Is there a way to get rid of those boxes or does anyone know
    of any other solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    You're welcome. And speaking of "thanks", I have copied the
    "fix" for the Transparent Caption Style bug from the guy who has
    been a great friend and the best source of real intelligence in the
    Captivate "expert" community, Paul Dewhurst. Paul deserves the real
    "Thanks" for discovering the cure for this irritation ... his
    solution is as follows - and I quote:
    quote:
    One of the Problems Captivate used to have was that if you used
    transparent captions then the text in the published movie would
    look blurred, In captivate 2 you can fix this problem and have nice
    crisp text all you need to do is select
    #C0C0C0 as the highlight colour and highlight part of the
    text (you can select just one character) this makes the text in the
    published movie display nice and crisp and the highlight is
    transparent.
    I hope this helps - and by the way, you can find other
    great tips from Paul on his website at
    this link
    Have a great day!

  • Captivate 7 Publishing Powerpoint slides and crashing

    I have recently updated Captivate 7 on my mac using the patch to make it work with Mavericks. All appears fine, however I have a project that has some powerpoint slides in it. When Captivate previews the content it locks up and freezes on any of these slides. Then if I publish the file out and load to our LMS it simply exits when it reaches the same point.
    I must admit that I did not have Captivate 7 when I first created this file so its new to 7. I also built it on a Windows build. Is this something to do with the way the Windows version of Captivate 6 handles PowerPoint that the Mac cannot handle?
    If anyone can offer any advice as I have a really complex build on one of these and I would hate to have to start the powerpoint elements again.
    James

    To my knowlede this cannot be done.  Master Slides are used to provide mostly static elements that are reused across other slides (like backgrounds or foregrounds).

  • I am new to iTunes. How do I transfer files of Powerpoint slides into iTunes from PC and then into my iPad for use at a meeting

    I am new to iTunes and the iOS in general, having just migrated from Android devices. Please advise as to how I can easily transfer files of Powerpoint slides in documents on my PC into iTunes, so that I can use Adobe or other app to get them into my iPAD to be able to use them at a conference. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have had an iTunes account for a while, but never really taken the time to learn to use it.  Now I have two computers, with two different versions of iTunes, with content on one that I want to transfer to the other.  Or I'd like to directly access the older libarary from the new computer. 
    There are a number of ways you might achieve this. The following article(s) may help you.
    Moving your iTunes library to a new computer
    Alternatively you might just use home sharing to share the libraries.
    Plus I have some videos and audio CD's that I have never imported, and would like to bring them into iTunes and store on an external hard drive to keep from loading up my computer.  I have no idea how to accomplish all of this, and cannot find clear instructions on the website.  Is there a screen where I can access written step-by-step instructions?  I don't have the time or patience to play around and do it by trail and error.  Thanks.
    If you place a CD into the CD drive, iTunes will ask you if you want to import it.
    If you want iTunes to store content on an external drive, you need to tell it to do so, which you do at iTunes preferences > Advanced.

  • Missing Features in the new design preview

    So today Microsoft officially unveiled the new design preview for Skype for Windows desktop that we have been able to test on a field trial basis or by manipulating the URL to download.
    Apart from the new design, this new version also brings a change in philosophy regarding group conversations and a very impactful removal of features for them.
    At first I want to talk about an issue that has been part of the mobile releases for a long time, the removal of names for group conversations. In the good old Skype world, every group conversation had two parts to display the members of a group and the context of conversation that was happening in them, the name and the topic. With the new design though, the option to name your groups is gone. This means that instead of showing a familiar, easy to remember and recognize name, the contact list now shows the topic, a often (maybe?) changing and not representing the members of said conversation, as the name.
    My favorite example on why this is bad is the following: Let's say you have more than one group of friends (hey, it happens) on Skype to talk about different things. One is your football club and the others are the chess dudes. You obviously name those groups "The sports guys" and "The chess guys" for your own sanity and ease of use in identifying them in your list. Both groups often have a similar topic set, mostly the date of the next meeting.
    Now, with the new design, you are left with two entries in your contact list, both conveniently named "Next meeting at 5pm". Now what? Which one is which? No way to know at a simple glance. You really have to open the group and look at the members list to really know.
    As a person who has been using Skype for group conversations for years and years, this really grinds my gears and I have been trying to get the developers attentions in varius threads on this forums, for once in the Android section (http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Wrong-behaviour-in-group-conversations/td-p/1968699) where this problem has existed for a looong time and over more private channels and app feedback.
    Now the only time when you can change the name of a group is when you create it. While in a previous version of the design preview, the option was still called "Change name..." as it is in the Android version, the latest release now correctly shows "Change topic.." because that is what it does, good job! I'd still like to be able to change the name independently from the topic.
    The next bug is minor and about group conversation pictures, in the new design, it's no longer possible to add pictures to the header of groups, they just don't show up when you add them also the existing ones don't show in the contact list.

    As I can't edit, I need to mention that I was kinda wrong about that, it reverts to showing the topic instead of the name in the contact list after a while, maybe after it syncs? Anyway, it still does it wrong. 

  • Convert powerpoint slide with embedded file (word, excel, etc) to pdf

    Hi all,
    I have a word document or excel spreadsheet that I added as an object into the power point slide.
    How can i convert powerpoint slide to PDF but still able to open the file when i click file icon.
    So far the result I have once the slide is in PDF, I can't no longer click the file to open it.
    Thank you.

    Hi Joel,
    The feature you are looking for, is currently not available in Acrobat.
    But you can create an interactive link (to open Word/Excel) using Acrobat. Please look at the following link:

  • Script in template using SOAP: Works in designer preview, not in rendering from LC Output

    I did a script in a livecycle ES2 Template in the event layout::ready. It call a web service using the SOAP method to get a base64 image from another server.
    The code is (the service called is fake, but it is not the problem):
    var sOptions = "";
    var imageType="JPEG";
    var input= {imageType:sItype,
            options:sOptions};
    var svcResponse;
    try
         var oListURL = "http://someserver.somedomain.com:8080/service?wsdl";
         SOAP.wireDump = true;
         var service = SOAP.connect(oListURL);
         //call the service
         svcResponse = service.getImageBinary(input);
         //transfer image in grahic object
         this.GraphImage.rawValue=svcResponse;   
    }catch(e){
         svcResponse = e.message ;
         root.PaginaUNO.TextField1.rawValue = e.message;
    This script WORKS PERFECTLY using the Livecycle Designer Preview. The image is got and correctly showed.
    When I want to render the PDF via Livecycle Server (calling the output service), I got an error:
    "SOAP is undefined."
    The server on which runs Livecycle has Acrobat 9 pro installed; is the same server on which I run Workbench and Designer. It seems that, trying to execute the script it misses something, maybe a class or something where is declared the SOAP object.
    Can someone give me a hint, please?

    Hi,
    I think the LC Output does not use Acrobat to render XDP's and the LC Output does not have a SOAP object and this is why I think you are getting the error.
    I can't think how to work around this, other that to try and make the code only run once it is opened in the Acrobat host and not on the server while it is being rendered.
    Regards

  • Why do circles rotated 45 degrees in PowerPoint slides not appearing in PDF -- a bug?

    I am using Acrobat XI Professional and PowerPoint 2013 in Windows 8.
    I have two PowerPoint slides. One slide is a filled-in circle. The other slide has another filled-in cirlce that is rotated 45 degrees. When I convert the PowerPoint presentation with the two slides to PDF using Acrobat > Create PDF, the circle that is rotated 45 degrees does not appear in the PDF document. This is true for all circles rotated by a factor of 45 degrees with the excpetion of circles that are factors of 90 degrees. LoriAUC pointed out to me that Save As > PDF works -- and it does.
    Here is the PowerPoint presentation: http://www.aespen.ca/AETests/TheCaseOfTheMissingDot/Presentation1.pptx.

    It very well may be because when you do a Save As > PDF it works. I would submit this behavior to the Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

  • In CS6 - how can I un-blur text within a photo taken at a seminar of a powerpoint slide presentation

    Is there a way in CS6 to un-blur or "clean-up" text within a photo taken during a powerpoint slide show presentation at a seminar ?

    You can import pictures into programs such as Photoshop and sharpen them or make other corrections but the results will depend on how much information remains in your photo.  It is always better to work with the original image than to copy it out of a power point presentation.  I am moving the discussion to the Photoshop forum in case you need more help.

  • I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to get rid of a small clip but it's not letting me do that.

    I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to delete a small highlighted clip and it won't let me no matter what I do! Rosemary

    First off....do NOT install MacKeeper!  It creates more problems than it prevents, and is a royal pain to get rid of once you realize this.
    What I would do, since it sounds like you don't want to reorganize your email filing by the use of Smart Mailboxes, is to simply use the search box at the top of the Mail window to find only the emails you want to delete....then select them all and delete them.  For example, if you wanted to delete all of the emails from [email protected], you would type that into your search box, which will filter your inbox to only show you emails from [email protected]  Then Select All, and delete them.  You haven't deleted any others....only those from that person.
    Then clear the search box to see the rest of your emails again. 
    Repeat this process to delete emails from other senders you no longer need.
    (Once you've selected them all, by the way, you can control-click one if you need to save it).
