MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Powerpoint 2007 Crashes when viewing or trying to apply themes
When ever I view themes in Powerpoint 2007, or try to apply an existing theme to an open presentation, powerpoint closes and gives me an error. I have run diagnostics, I have installed the latest updates, I had my client test it out as well and it also crashed for them. I am in vista, they are in XP. I have also completely uninstalled MS Office and reinstalled several times and it still happens. How are you supposed to use themes, if this happens? Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? Does this happen with a specific presentation or with all presentations? I can tell you it doesn't happen here, and I don't recall its ever being reported here in the newsgroup, either, so I'd guess it's not a common issue. What is the error PPT gives you when it closes? What theme are you trying to apply to it, and how are you doing that? (Trying to figure out exactly when in the "applying themes" or "viewing themes" process the crash happens.)

Is there a fix? I have this problem on files where I use a PPT 2003 template that I converted to a 2007 Theme. In particular, the 2003 template "Compass" when converted to a 2007 Theme often--but not always--bombs when I try to change to another Theme or re-apply the Compass Theme. I can change color sets within the Theme at will, but not the Theme. I can also alter the Compass Theme and save the changes. But, when attempting to actually apply a different Theme, the application closes. > When ever I view themes in Powerpoint 2007, or try to apply an existing theme > to an open presentation, powerpoint closes and gives me an error.
