MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006pptviewer trying to make TCP connection!?
Hello, I have a few ppt files which when Packaged for CD onto my hard disk cause my firewall software to ask permission for pptview.exe to make a TCP connection to 80.71.25.4 - a reverse lookup produces no info on this IP. Any idea what is happening? Cheers Geoff Maybe this?

This works but can you see a better, quicker way?! Cheers Geoff Hi I would try cutting the pictures then using edit->paste special. What you can paste as depends, but select jpg or png if available - if not choose device independent bitmap then cut & paste special again to jpg or png. Normally resolves any issues with pictures copied from the web.

Thanks Lucy - I did try cut and paste but not paste special - will try that. Cheers Geoff >Lucy >Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Lucy Lucy, I have now tried cut/paste special and then selected gif - this does not work I'm afraid! Still get the attempt to make a TCP connection when using the Viewer. So back to the hard way - I copy images to a new slides and then delete the originals. This does work but is a more time consuming. Anything else I could try? Cheers Geoff >>Maybe this? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > web - and I am having to copy the images to new slides and then delete > the original ones.

This works but can you see a better, quicker way?! When I copy/paste this kind of image, I get the same thing as I started with. Another copy of an image that links to the web. No help there. If I copy/paste special as some other format, I get a shabby looking image. But ... save the PPT as a web page, normal HTML rather than MHT and look in the folder of supporting files that that creates and voila, normal images in all their glory. Insert those, delete the old, and no more links, it seems. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> >Maybe this? >> > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >folder of supporting files that that creates and voila, normal images in all >their glory.

Insert those, delete the old, and no more links, it seems. Sweet. I thought round-tripping through HTML would keep the odd tags (or whatever it is). I should have actually *tried* it before ruling it out!

Steve, With several images on several pages I think copying and pasting into new slides seems to be the quicker way for me. At least I can select all images and any text and action buttons and copy in one go. Oddly I could not get right mouse click / copy to work. I had to select all images etc and then use CTRL/C to do this.

In the example I was working with, it didn't ... copy/paste left me with exactly the same thing as I'd started with: an image that wanted to visit home, home on the web. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> Steve, >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >copy/paste left me with exactly the same thing as I'd started with: an image that >wanted to visit home, home on the web. Steve, Perhaps that indicates that my problem was different?! Is it possible to check the hyperlink for an image?

In this case, not that I know of, though there might be some way of doing it by either saving as HTML and examining the result or using the Script editor. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
