MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008Invert Selection Option
I was working on powerpoint 2007 slides. On one of my slides, I have many objects, out of which I have give same type of animation to all objects except one object. I selected the object but I am not getting the invert selection option. I even tried office 2003 shortcut like alt+E+I but it is not working. I am using office 2007 professional plus with sp1 on win xp sp2. >I was working on powerpoint 2007 slides.

I know invert selection only from the Windows Explorer, not from inside Office. Are you sure that you had a native Office 2003 without any addins or macros?  SignatureMit vielen Grüßen Pia Bork -- MVP PowerPoint http://www.ppt-faq.de und http://www.borkoffice.de Narendra, You are looking for a way to reverse the selection. Don't think you can do that in PowerPoint, you can do it in Windows Explorer. But maybe I am just not understanding your question. Since you are working in PPT 2007 you could use the selection and visibility task pane to easily select and de-select animated objects on your slide. For instance in your case you could hide that one animation that is different for the others then select the remaining objects on your slide. To get to it, click Home tab, in the editing section, click select button, choose selection and visibility pane. Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint >I was working on powerpoint 2007 slides.

The Invert selection features is in windows explorer and not in office (including the previous version of xp) It was my mistake that i tried in office. But there is point in my discussion:I have to select many tiny objects like small dots or line. It will easy for me to select a bigger object (which i don't want to select) and simply reverse the selection. This will be useful features if it is added in MS Office. Till then I will use the current features. Thanks for reply. > Narendra, > You are looking for a way to reverse the selection.

Narendra, Have you read my suggestion to use the Selection and visibility task pane, that should ease your task. Here's a tutorial from Echo on the very subject: http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/selectionpane.htm Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint > The Invert selection features is in windows explorer and not in office > (including the previous version of xp) [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> > not working. >> > I am using office 2007 professional plus with sp1 on win xp sp2. In addition, you can select all objects and then press Shift and click the object you want to unselect. But yes, the Selection and Visibility pane often makes it easier to deselect something -- especially if it's hidden under another object.

There's a little macro to do this here: Invert the current selection: select all unselected shapes http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00887.htm And a free add-in that does this and a lot more here: http://www.rdpslides.com/ftp/pptools/SELECTIONMANAGER.ZIP > The Invert selection features is in windows explorer and not in office > (including the previous version of xp) [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > not working. > > > I am using office 2007 professional plus with sp1 on win xp sp2. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
