MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007Disaster please help
I used to have Office 2003 and 2007 together and I was working perfectly. Suddenly and without doing any extra thing on the system, all charts don't wan't to be edited or opened either on PP 2003 or 2007, I always get the message "Microsoft Office PowerPoint can't start the application required to oben this object" I hope any one can help me on that as it's very crucial. The corrective steps I made is uninstalling both office versions and reinstall again but nothing happened. Best regards,  Signature********* IT Manager DeLaval Ltd. Cairo-Egypt ********* |-----------------| |Islam is peace| |-----------------| Try re-registering MSGraph (the charting engine PPT 2003 uses) by following the instructions here: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00236.htm Then run Office Diagnostics in PPT 2007 by going to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. This may fix whatever the issue between PPT 2007 and Excel is. (PPT 2007 uses Excel 2007 for its charting. It may be that it's pointing to Excel 2003 for some reason, or it could be that Excel 2007 and PPT 2007 are having issues. Diagnostics should take care of that. Or it could be that you're working in compatibility mode, and therefore, you're working with MSGraph. Re-regtistering as described above may help with that.)

I expected that re-registering MSGraph would resolve the issue, since it's PPT 2003 and its charts. Using PPT 2003 only, can you start a new, blank presentation, choose Insert | Chart, and insert a chart? Click on the slide to de-activate the chart, then double-click it to try to open it. Does it open? Save the file, close it, then re-open it in PPT 2003. Try to double-click the chart again. Does it open? (I'm just trying to take PPT 2007 chart conversion completely out of the picture to maybe help pinpoint the problem.) Also, what antivirus program do you use?

I have 2 graphs under office11 & Office 12 which is I believe 2003 & 2007. When I try to register any of them I get the next message: "Graph failed to restart correctly last time. Starting graph in safe mode will help you correct or isolate a startup problem. Do you want to start graph in safe mode? If I said Yes I get the next message: This program can only run from with another program. ?? What shall I do now. I tried what you said but didn't work, the problem is in 2003 and even if I opened a Presetation made by 2003 with 2007, the chart can't be opened or converted so I have the same problem exactly.

Have you rebooted recently? Try that -- turn off the computer, go get a cup of coffee, then come back and re-start it and try creating a chart in a new PPT 2003 file. And again, what antivirus program are you using? SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PowerPoint 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm (New!)

Moreover I tried to creat PPT on 2007 and after I edited the chart and closed it when I re-open by 2007 and try to edit the data of it, the Excel sheet don't come up at all and I can't see the value again or adjust them I will try to make a repair installation for the Windows :( Signature********* IT Manager DeLaval Ltd.

I think you may want to call Microsoft Product Support at this point. As far as creating a chart in 2007 and then reopening and trying to edit the file...PPT 2007 uses Excel 2007 exclusively to create and edit charts. You can work in "compatibility mode" in PPT 2007, though -- and especially then you may be prompted to "convert" the 2007 (Excel) charts to 2003 (MSGraph) charts. You can convert them even if you're not working in compatibility mode, though. If you've converted them, it makes sense to me they're not working -- because they should open in MSGraph, but that's not working properly for you. Anyway, I do think it's time to call Microsoft about this one. SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PowerPoint 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm (New!)
