MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008PowerPoint 2007
Hello all! I work at a couple of hotels in the area as an audiovisual tech, and we'll be obtaining a laptop soon with Powerpoint 2007 installed... I came across a possible problem with its functionality. Using a wireless USB remote, when importing PowerPoint presentations from previous versions of Powerpoint (2003), the slides would not advance or go backwards; the mouse would still move when using the mouse feature on our remtoe. Using the same USB remote, with a presentation created in Powerpoint 2007, the slides would advance and reverse when hitting those buttons. Are there any tricks we should know of to get this to work correctly with importing presentatiosn from prior versions of Powerpoint as well as having presentations created in the newest version of Powerpoint? I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure this out... Thanks! Should not be a problem unless the remote has non-standard programming. PPT2007 uses the same advance/back keys as previous versions (arrow keys, page up/down, N/P). I use a few different remotes and have not had an issue. Any possibility of trying the same remote on another computer with PPT2007 to eliminate the computer as the problem.

Thanks! Hi Robert Have you considered saving your 2003 powerpoint files as 2007 files? That should avoid the problem.

We've only got this one laptop available onsite with PPT2007 installed. It operates correctly on other computers, all with Office 2003 installed. > Hi Robert > > Have you considered saving your 2003 powerpoint files as 2007 files?

If so, next time I'm able to use the computer, I'll try it. If not, let me know!

Hm. If the presentations were set up for Kiosk mode, they wouldnt' respond to mouseclicks (remote or otherwise). Are there navigation buttons of any sort on the slides? You might have to click those. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
