Regarding PowerPoint 2007 Beta 2:

No matter what transition you choose for your slides, the slideshow plays as
if there were no transitions. Audio transitions work. It is the VISUAL
transitions that don't.
Patrick Schmid - 04 Jun 2006 08:19 GMT
They work here. Do you have a specific scenario and transition in which
that didn't happen? Where you using an existing or a new presentation?

The transitions between the slides don't work
My PowerPoint is an German version

If you can share a presentation, zip it up and send it to me via email.
You can get my email address from my website.
It actually doesn't matter whether you are using a German version or
not. In Office 2007, the underlying program is identical for all
languages. The only difference is really the text shown to you on the
screen, keyboard shortcuts and other localized UI elements.

Hi,
Just want to add that I see the same problem, I get no slide transitions to
work, not in old presentations nor in new presentations. I can select a slide
transition, I see the preview, but when I start the show, no transition. I am
very interested to learn about a solution.

Hi Tom,

Same thing to you that I told him :) This might be a computer specific
issue as I could see the transitions fine here. Therefore go into Start,
Run and type msinfo32. Then in the file menu, choose Save. Save the file
somewhere where you can find it (prob. will take 10-15 mins to create
report & save). Then zip it up together with the presentation and email
it to me. I'll take a look. If I can see the transitions fine, I'll
submit the presentation plus the info about your computer configuration
to Microsoft so that they can take a look and see what is going on here.
You can get my email address from my website.

I am having the same problem.... the transitions dont work.

I have a laptop (freshly formatted) and a desktop with a heap of crap on
it.... and the transitions dont work on either machine.

Has anyone any ideas at this stage?

Remove Office 2007, reboot and reinstall it. If it still doesn't work,
send me a computer configuration file as per the instructions below via
email.

Any luck solving this problem? I am experiencing the same. New system and
installation. . . Reinstalled with no luck. Any assistance would be
appreciated.
Thank you.

Microsoft is frankly at a loss what could be causing this problem. At
this point, I'd see wait till the technical refresh for Beta 2 is
released and try it with that. If it still doesn't work, email me
directly.
I don't know when the refresh will be released, but it can't be that far
away anymore.

We think we might know what's triggering this behavior.  Do you have an COM
add-in's installed for PowerPoint?

1) Click "File" button and choose "PowerPoint Options"
2) Click "Add-Ins"
3) Choose to Manage: "COM Add-ins"  (from bottom of dialog) and click the
"Go..." button.

Are any add-in's listed in the dialog that appears?

If so:

1) Try disabling them one by one until you get slide transitions to work
2) If disabling them doesn't solve the problem, try removing them one by
one until you can get transitions to work.

Please let us know which add-ins you had installed originally and which
one(s) needed to be disabled/removed before you were able to get slide
transitions to work.

NOTE: There's a possibility that nearly every COM add-in will trigger this
behavior (it's a bug in Beta 2 for PowerPoint), but we're still looking for
confirmation from beta testers and preview users.

Thanks,

John Langhans [MSFT]

According to John Langhans´s message, I disabled the "Google Desktop Search"
COM Add-in, closed and reopened Powerpoint and the problem didn´t occur
anymore.

Thanks John. Helped a lot!

Disabling "Google Desktop Search" also cleared the problem for me.

Thanks!!!

Disabling the Google add-in helped a lot.

Thanks,

I checked and found one add-in. Google Desktop Add-in.
After disabling, the feature now works.
My productivity in PPT has been reduced to by about 70% with 2006. I have
been working with office since its release in the early 90's

Too much change without thinking about the user.
Thanks

Excellent!!!

I didn't have google desktop search, but I had another complement
installed...

The problem is fix now...but

With the google desktop complement.... is Microsoft "Created" this bug
so the people will use his destop search which will be in Vista instead
of the google one???

I would bet on this....
Patrick Schmid - 25 Sep 2006 15:45 GMT
No need for conspiracy theories. It just happens to be a bug with ALL
COM add-ins. Hopefully Microsoft can fix it for RTM.
