MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2008Problems with Wacom Intuos3 Tablet in Powerpoint 2007 SP1
I'm having problems with my new Wacom Intuos3 writing tablet in Powerpoint 2007. When I use the ink annotation tools in slide presentation mode using my writing pen, vertical lines of the same pen color occassionally appear on certain letters as I write. This does not happen in other programs (eg. annotation in Adobe Acrobat works fine). I replaced my tablet thinking the 1st had a problem, but the replacement also has same issue. I contacted Wacom Technical Support and they suggested I download MS Office Service Pack 1 (SP1) which I did, but I have same issue. When I tried my laptop, I have same issue except lines are now horizontal. I also tried downloading the latest tablet driver, but I still have same problem. Anybody any ideas how to solve this problem? I really need to be able to use my writing pen in Powerpoint  SignatureJeffB NextStep Music Performance, LLC Jeff, What OS are you running?

Vista, PowerPoint and Wacom have had some driver issues that have caused all sorts of problems for people (most have been resolved with new set of drivers recently released from Wacom). But being on XP you should not have any issues, but that being said, can you make certain you have all updates to Office 2007 (SP1) and the latest drivers from Wacom.

When I download the latest Wacom driver, will that automatically replace the old driver, or do I need to manually delete the old driver? If so, how do I know which file to delete?

We're having the same thing with a new Toshiba Portege tablet PC (Wacom technology) in PowerPoint 2007. It doesn't happen in any other program, and it doesn't happen in PowerPoint 2003. > I'm having problems with my new Wacom Intuos3 writing tablet in Powerpoint > 2007.

I am not sure I deleted the old driver though and so there may be a conflict. That was my reason for the last post asking if anybody could tell me how to delete the old driver and install the new one properly. Let me know if you manage to solve this problem and I will do the same. Thanks for contacting me!! SignatureJeffB NextStep Music Performance, LLC > Did a new driver solve the problem?

We're at a university with a site license for Office, so now I'm trying to find out the proper channels to do that. In my own experimenting, I found that if you write s-l-o-w-l-y and d-e-l-i-b-e-r-a-t-e-l-y you can mostly avoid the problem. But that's not an acceptable solution for the professor. > I am glad to know that I am not the only person having this issue!! > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > Anybody any ideas how to solve this problem?

"The workaround for the time being is to change the screen resolution in the Set Up Slide Show window to either 1024x768 or 800x600 depending on the device the presentation is being displayed on." > I called Toshiba support and they said it's a known issue with PowerPoint > 2007, a software problem, and we need to contact Microsoft.

I will try changing the screen resolution to see whether this works. Did Microsoft say they would contact you when the Fix is available?
