MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Shifting text between office 2k3 and 2k7
Just upgraded to (enterprise) office 2007 and i've noticed in powerpoint that some of the text and formatting from the Powerpoint 2003 file has been shifted around. If i reopen the file on Powerpoint 2003 all is normal and fine - i'm hesitant to upgrade everyone in the office to 2k7 just based on this one issue - anyone else encounter this or have a solution...? Thank you. Randy Thank you - i did post in the PPT discussion group as well - it's hard to explain - but the best example is an organizational chart where the text is no longer aligned within the proper boxes. In addition, there are lines of text that now appear nearly on top of each other...is there a place in here i can upload an image of the 2k3 vs the 2k7? Thank you.

Are you certain it's not a font substitution issue? Are the fonts used in the 2003 file available on the computer with 2007? Get a list of the fonts used by choosing Format, Replace Fonts in PPT 2003 Verify that they're available in 2007 by checking to see if they're on the fonts list. If there's a Format Replace Fonts equivalent in 2007, somebody tell me where it's hid. I've no idea and Help doesn't either. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ It's on the Home tab over on the right, I think.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ Can you email me a couple of sample slides? I'd like to take a look here. I have a feeling we're going to start seeing these "text shifting" issues, and I'd like to figure out what we can!

[quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> PPTools: www.pptools.com >> ================================================ THis is something that happens in 2007 with Times New Roman, Arial, and Garamond (at least). My publisers are also having problems with many postscript fonts. This is NOT a font or font substitution issue. This is a crappy program design issue. Not relief until Microsoft fixes it. We're at their mercy until then. Again, I'd really love to see a couple of sample slides. I know I've got one example here that I can't repro, but it may be a completely different scenario....

If you can give me an email or FTP address, I'm happy to send both a set of problematic slides and screen shots to demonstrate what's happening (in case it does misbehave on your end). Or, if there's a way I can attach them to one of these replies, I'm happy to do it that way as well. > Again, I'd really love to see a couple of sample slides.

Also please include which version of Windows you're working on. Send to echos at indy dot net, please. (Of course, replace "at" with @ and "dot" with a period.) And thanks!

Eric, here's what I found so far. We have 7 different printer types on our office network. I tried printing to each of them separately using the most current drivers for each, plus PDF Writer. Got the same results everytime. I also downloaded one of the drivers you suggested and that also did not help. We have nearly 100 people in our office, and more than half of them have this same problem. Most of them are client facing with a need to use PPT with clients frequently. This situation is untenable for us. Without a solution soon, we're going to have to get rid of 2007 altogether. Everyone who's running Office 2007 (which is nearly 100 percent) was installed by our IT department from the same image. The few that aren't already "upgraded" refuse to do so until this mess is fixed. Can't say I blame them. All users are running XP SP2 and are fully updated. There seems to be no conceivable reason why the most basic and most used fonts on the planet - provided to us by Microsoft - should cause such havoc. A solution will be greatly appreciated.

My suggestion is to install one of the certified drivers and set it as the default printer driver. I'm not suggesting that you install current drivers for the 7 printer types in use. I'm suggesting that, as a test, you install one of these certified drivers and set it as the default. Certified drivers here: http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=1044&tabid=1 If that doesn't work, then I suggest a call to MS is in order. By the way, my name is Echo, not Eric.

PDFWriter died after version 4 of Adobe Acrobat; they haven't shipped that in a long, long time and it's surely not an MS-certified driver. The number of printer types doesn't mean a lot either unless you know that they're Windows certified. Incidentally, if they're network-installed (as opposed to locally installed) drivers, that's long been a PPT sore point. As a test, try using the Add Printer wizard to add a *local* printer and choose the HP Laserjet III from the list that the Add Printer wizard provides. >Got the same results everytime.
