What *exactly* does the error message say? What version of PPT do you have? Does this happen with all presentations or just one/several in particular? And is there an example posted somewhere publically so we can have a look at it? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ message says, "The outline is to long to be read in tis entirety" i have 2007 ppt happens with all there is but everybody else can open them > > cant read ppt from net, others can. tried saving to desktop, doesnt work. > > comes up with message saying too long to read in intierty, then comes up in [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > message says, "The outline is to long to be read in tis entirety" > i have 2007 ppt > happens with all > there is but everybody else can open them It sounds as though the file is corrupt or has the wrong file extension. Can you see file extensions in Windows Explorer or when you rightclick the file and choose Properties? By default, Windows turns this off, which complicates things. Make sure the file has a .PPT or .PPTX extension. And you left out a few answers: > > Does this happen with all presentations or just one/several in particular? > > > > And is there an example posted somewhere publically so we can have a look at > > it? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks will try. Yes this does happen with all presntations and no there isnt an example that you can access > > message says, "The outline is to long to be read in tis entirety" > > i have 2007 ppt [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ the extension is PDF file, how do i change this > > message says, "The outline is to long to be read in tis entirety" > > i have 2007 ppt [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > the extension is PDF file, how do i change this If it's really a PDF file, changing the extension won't make it open in PPT. That'd be like putting a "Vodka" label on a bottle of water and then wondering why it seems to have no effect when you drink it. It's still water. And a PDF with a PPT extension is still a PDF and won't open in PPT. If that's the case, you need to download a free copy of Acrobat Reader (from www.adobe.com) and install it. It will open PDFs. > > > message says, "The outline is to long to be read in tis entirety" > > > i have 2007 ppt [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
