Running PP 2003 and using custom automation. In some slides I can select a
text item in a list and apply any kind of emphasis to the text. On other

I need a Visual Basic for Applications code that will execute powerpoint
custom animations.
I'm creating a type of trigger that will carry out an animation when moused

presentation I tend to give. It is similar to the default layout,

I have PPT 2007.  From the Master Slide, if I attempt to Edit the Theme Font,

Can anyone tell me how I can see the notes on my computer while projecting
only the slides to my audience?  I know I've seen it done before, but I can't

Hi, I created a PPT file that has become too cumbersome and really wasn't
suitable for PowerPoint in the first place, as it will be printed. I need to
export to a different format - Word or Publisher would be good. But when I

If I copy an image or text and then open PPT to paste it in the paste option
is not available (grayed out). The data is on the clipboard because I can
paste it into Word, but not PPT. What I have to do is wait for PPT to open
and then go back and copy the data again before ...
