Time and security protecting of PowerPoint presentations
I would like to know if it's possible to security protect a PowerPoint presentation and to time protect it also.
I have seen details of the security protection but not time protection. Basically, we want to be able to allow use of a presentation which cannot then be copied or used after a period of time; ie 12 months. This because we have to pay each year
to register a course and we need to be able to pass a proportion of the cost on; with the presentation they could avoid paying and have our presentation to be able to carry on using.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Thanks and best regards,
Phil
Hi,
As far as I know, Office has no build-in time protection feature. We might develop an add-on to get your goal.
If you have any question about Office DEV, please post your question to the MSDN forum for General Office Development

How this started:
Over the past couple of days to approx a week, I have seen a massive influx of Spam on our server. Spam coming in on random ex employee names that no longer work for the company.
Previous to the spam, I turned on "forward un-deliverable mail to" and set to me. The CEO was missing emails because people were not spelling his name correctly. I have actually been able tyo catch a lot of employee emails some important, others not.
In trying to make the mail server more secure, one of the features I tried to turn on was SMTP Client Restrictions, Which broke SMTP for my users. Obviously the error is mine and I need to do more research, but love some feedback on what needs to be set on the server and clients for SMTP client restrictions to work.
I know THE HOFF (mr hoffman) had information at some point to help users secure postfix, can anyone point me in the right direction, as well as any tips here on how to stop the influx of spam?

mail:~ administrator$I am not certain what you mean by immediately removing the 192.1.1.10 and 192.1.1.11, AIX servers that I use to relay admin emails to an IT address here. Some sort of a gateway implemented on a pair of IBM boxes, I might presume.
192.1.1.0/24 is in a public address space that you don't have assigned (unless you're BBN). If that IP routing leaks out, then some folks can get cranky. Or should you eventially need to contact hosts within the address space of the "real" occupants of 192.1.1.0/24, routing won't necessarilt play nice. There may well be a static IP route here, depending on the details of the router configuration, as otherwise that IP traffic would be going to BBN and not to those servers. The Internet works because folks play by the rules, when working with IP routing and DNS services. And if your predecessor used this address space (and not the likely 192.168.0.0/16 block), I'd look around to see if there were other unusual network configuration choices.
TCP port 25 is the server-to-server mail port. That's the main connection used among mail servers. Blocking that has the effect that you've discovered.
It's the clients that can also use that port that need to be relocated off the port, as the clients don't have the reverse DNS and related tests that would allow them access to that port, with various common server security configurations.
Open TCP 587 at the firewall and ensure that this port is active at the mail server host, as a starting point. You can test that with (among other tools) with a remote "telnet your.mail.server.host.name 587" command or similar; that's a primitive (but effective) (common) port test.
With the Apple Mail client, make sure the SMTP server is configured to use the default SMTP ports. Mail > Preferences > Account > Account Information > Edit SMTP Server > select the target SMTP server > Advanced > select "use the default ports (25, 465, 587)" and consider using SSL and authentication. (Apple Mail tries a few ports automatically, so the set-up can be different than other clients.)
I don't have enough space here for a full write-up on how mail or IP works, and setting up an arbitrary mail client or an IP network can be an adventure; I assumed the Apple mail client in the above. See the user collaboration services disscussion of mail services in the Mac OS X Server Advanced Administration manual as some background. (And if this stuff all looks a little cryptic, that's understandable, and you might want to consider getting some set-up help or consider moving to hosted mail services and making this stuff somebody else's problem.) -
Export/Add Datagrid to programmatically generated PowerPoint presentation
Hi All,
I would like to ask you, how could I export or add DataGrid from my app to the powerpoint presentation?
I know how to create an ppt, but I cannot find solution for export.
Appreciate your suggestions
Thank you!
MathhThe DataGrid control has no built-in export functionality. The best thing you can do out-of-the-box is copy/paste (select all data in the DataGrid in your WPF application and paste it into Powerpoint presentation).
If you want some more sophisticated export mechanism you will have to implement it yourself. Please check out my blog post about how to export data from a DataGrid for more information and how to get started:
http://blog.magnusmontin.net/2013/09/29/export-data-from-a-datagrid/.
But since the DataGrid displays tabular data you may find it hard to export to a Powerpoint presentation which is nothing like a grid or table.
I hope you don't expect anyone here to write an export method for you because this may not be trivial and that's not what the forums are for. But my blog post should give you the idea as it contains the full code for being able to export data into a
.csv file.
Hope that helps.

I'm new to keynotes and I'm trying to salvage several powerpoint presentations. I can't control my slide presentations by clicking to change slides and/or for transitions within the slides. I'm sure there's an answer but I can't find it. Can someone please give me directions.
Show the Inspector; view > show inspector
to run a presentation using manual control:
Inspector > Document: set Presentation to Normal
many transitions set in PowerPoint are not available in Keynote; to set the transition options:
Inspector > Slide > Transition
select the effect you want and either choose auto or manual control -
"logon time" between USR41 and security audit log
Dear colleagues,
I got a following question from customer for security audit reason.
> 'Logon date' and 'Logon time' values stored in table USR41 are exactly same as
> logon history of Security Audit Log(Tr-cd:SM20)?
Table:USR41 saves 'logon date' and 'logon time' when user logs on to SAP System from SAP GUI.
And the Security Audit Log(Tr-cd:SM20) can save user's logon history;
at the time when user logged on, the security audit log is recorded .
I tried to check SAP GUI logon program:SAPMSYST several ways, however,
I could not check it because the program is protected even for read access.
I want to know about specification of "logon time" between USR41 and security audit log,
or about how to look into the program:SAPMSYST and debug it.
Thank you.
Best Regards.Hi,
If you configure Security Audit you can achieve your goals...
1-Audit the employees how access the screens, tables, data...etc
Answer : Option 1 & 3
2-Audit all changes by all users to the data
Answer : Option 1 & 3
3-Keep the data up to one month
Answer: No such settings, but you can define maximum log size.
4-Log retention period can be defined.
Answer: No !.. but you can define maximum log size.
SM19/SM20 Options:
1-Dialog logon
You can check how many users logged in and at what time
2-RFC login/call
Same as above you can check RFC logins
3-Transaction/report start
You can see which report or transaction are executed and at what time
(It will help you to analyise unauthorized data change. Transactions/report can give you an idea, what data has been changed. So you can see who changed the data)
4-User master change
(You can see user master changes log with this option)
5-System/Other events
(System error can be logged using this option)
Hope, it clear the things...
Regards.

Can I create a Flash button and use it to navigate to the next slide of a PowerPoint Presentation?
Hello all,
I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into. I'm fairly new to Flash, so I believe that this is slightly out of my natural skill range, so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves. If anyone could write a walkthrough on how to do this, I would be bery grateful.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
ThanksHi. Why not to make the whole presentation in FLASH? What you have to do is to import all the slides inside FLASH. Then place one by one in the stills and then create the code to make the stills advance and show the slides by means of the button. The code for the button goes as follows:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
to introduce this code make sure you press the button and no the frame.
Then in order to make the presentation open and cover the screen, no matter how big it is, you need to enter the following code in the first frame:
stop();
fscommand ("showmenu",false);
fscommand ("fullscreen", true);
You will need also a button to quit the aplication. This is the code:
on (release) {
stop();
fscommand ("quit");
Now write all of this in your application and let me know your experience. MamenFLASH$ -
"Present Online
Error starting online presentation
Cannot connect to this service. Check your network connection and try again."
On March 31, we starting experiencing this issue across our entire domain. We have not made any changes to our network configuration. We are using the same ISP, routing hardware, computer hardware, software versions and group policy settings as we were on March
30.
The issue appears to be related to network connectivity.
Here is what I have found so far:
We have three networks in our building and two ISPs.
Network-A uses ISP-A and is affected by the issue. Network-A is our corporate domain.
Network-B uses ISP-B and is affected by the issue.
Network-C uses ISP-B and is not affected by the issue.
If I take a Network-A domain member and launch PowerPoint while connected to Network-A and ISP-A I am unable to upload PowerPoint presentations.
If I connect the same computer to Network-C, the issue persists.
If I close PowerPoint, connect to Network-C, and reopen PowerPoint while connected to Network-C, I am able to upload presentations.
A non-domain computer is affected by the issue if PowerPoint is opened while connected to Network-A or Network-B, but unaffected if PowerPoint is launched while connected to Network-C. Again, in this scenario, switching connections while PowerPoint is open
has no effect.
The issue appears to be caused during PowerPoint start-up and not while attempting to share a document.
Microsoft is either unwilling or unable to find a resolution and has finally resorted to simply ignoring my calls, voicemails, emails, and ticket requests regarding this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a brief description of our configuration and what I have tried so far.

EIGHT hours into a Powerpoint presentation. Wanted to delete the content of a particular slide. Did a "command +A" (select all), hit delete...and then like a complete idiot, saved it, thereby overwriting all of the content. The file itself has not been deleted...now it's just a blank presentation with all content MIA. Previous to this screw up, there were 49 versions. Is there a way I can find the last version before my DEFCON LEVEL: BLONDE moment???
Not unless you have Time Machine running and can recover an older copy from there

Powerpoint presentation and iweb
Help! I need to upload my powerpoint presentation to iweb. I followed the directions saved the presentation with .htm extension to my file folder, created the link with inspector and published. However, when you click on the link, I get the prompt that the webpage does not exist. I do not receive any errors when saving the presentation as a webpage. What am I doing wrong?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The web site version of a Powerpoint presentation is not what you want to use. It is pretty crude. I suggest you save the presentation as a movie which will preserve the transitions and add the movie to your web page by one of the following two methods: Opening Movie in New Window (window is sized to the movie's dimensions) or Adding QT Movie via the Export to Web from QT Player. Both methods let the web page load without the movie having to load. The movie loads after the Play button is selected.
You could use the second method to reduce the movie file size and add it directly to the web page but it would still have to load with the page and that will increase the load time time of the page.

In any case, note the following.
1) Do not [multi-post|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394663] questions.
2) It pays to ask a specific question, rather than stating a problem and that you 'do not know how to fix it and - please help'.
3) You are more likely to get help if you can present code in the form of an SSCCE (at least of what you have so far). -
Secure Store Service Application takes a lot of time and does not create the database
Hi everybody,
I was trying to configure sharepoint performance point and I was following the instruction. After I created the performance point services application I tried to creat the secure store service application. When I do this, the progress window stays open forever
even after 2 hours. If I close the window, I will see that the secure store service and proxy app is created and the application pool also is created in IIS but the database is not and the application service is stopped. even when I want to delete it, it's
the same story and the progress window stays until I close it manually. Nothing has been logged in the event viewer because it doesn't throw any exceptions.
I don't think that I have permission issues on the database server side because I have created the performance point service app and the database is there. I have used the same credentials to crete the secure store.
I have restarted the secure store service and IIS for many times and even the server itself.
I'm wondering if anybody has had this issue because I couldn't find anything on the web.
Thanks,

I've always used PC and I'm planning on making the transition to Mac. That's why I'm considering buying an iPad. Today I went to Best Buys and the Mac guy told me that it isn't possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time. Is that true? I'm a speaker and that was the main reason I was considering buying an iPad, so I didn't have to carry my laptop. Thanks for your help!
