MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2008triggers dont fire on Mac Powerbook
anybody ever seen this before? Did a big gallery presentation with all kinds of thumbnail images that triggered other images... worked fine on four different PCs, but images would not load on a Mac Powerbook. Is this a common issue? You might want to ask the same question in the Mac PowerPoint NG  SignatureMichael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint anybody ever seen this before?

Might want to ask in Public.Mac.Office.PowerPoint .. they're Mac, we're mostly PC. I'd also find out first which version of PowerPoint's involved. Triggers appeared in PPT 2002 on PC but I don't believe they're available in PPT 2004 or previous on Mac; whether they're supported in the newly released 2008 I don't know. The folks in the Mac group will. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> anybody ever seen this before?

Quick test here on 2003. Rectangle on left, image on right, image set via trigger to appear when rectangle is clicked. Works as expected. Opened in 2004 on Mac ... nada. I think perhaps trigger will whinny on Mac 2008 but not earlier versions. Ah well. Better to find out now than later. Suppose instead you have each thumbnail link to a different slide ... the slide with the thumbnail's image large. If the thumbnails are on the master, they'll work on every slide. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> >> anybody ever seen this before?

It worked but without using the blank slide trick, when you go back to a slide, the animations dont work the second time. Rats, now I'll have to build that, too. A real learning process.

Oh well. Mind-expanding, right? Wrong? Well .. yeah. But will this save some time ... create one blank slide with instant advance to the following slide then dupe and move it to wherever it's needed? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ >> i also built the same presentation using cloned slides. thumbnails >> couldnt be on the master, different masters for different purposes.

I'll have to insert the blank slide and then re-direct every hyperlink to that slide. ick. |
