Animations

How do I ensure animations will be preserved when transferring slide show to another machine? Is there a way of protecting animations when used on an earlier version of Powerpoint?

RE: Animations

Morning Darren,

The Animation in 2007 are the same as PowerPoint XP and 2003 so in that respect there is not a problem. The main issue is the file extension as office 2007 has a "X" at the end of it so Powerpoint is ".pptx" file. You must make sure that when saving a file, and especially if it goes externally from the company that you save it as "powerpoint 97-2003 presentation".

In the unlikely scenario that you have a user on Powerpoint 97 or 2000 then this may cause issues. The best thing to tell them is to download a viewer from Microsofts website, if you get on with them well.

Hope this helps
Martin

PowerPoint tip:

Running PowerPoint Show Without Opening PowerPoint

If you double click on a PowerPoint show, PowerPoint opens and shows the first slide in development mode. To prevent this do the following:

Find your PowerPoint file.

Right click on the file's icon with your mouse.

Select 'Show' from the menu that is displayed. PowerPoint opens and runs your slide Show. When the show finishes, PowerPoint closes.

Your audience never sees the PowerPoint working window at all.

To make it easier place a shortcut to the file on your desktop for quick access.
