PPT crashing with charts

Powerpoint 2007 frequently crashes whenever charts are embedded. It is a really important feature to link a PPT chart to data and to be able to maniuplate the chart, but I fear touching it because it crashes so often. Are there any patches available, etc?

RE: PPT crashing with charts

Hi Adrian


Thank you for your question regarding the embedding of charts leading to PowerPoint crashing.

It would seem this is quite a common problem and could be down to a number of different reasons:

- Are you using Norton Anti-Virus? If so remove the Office plug-in. Please see link below for further info.

http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00387.htm

- The techniques used to embed and/or link the files in the PowerPoint presentation may have contributed.

If it's a large file being loaded and worked on across a LAN (local area network) this may contribute to the problem.

Move the file to your local drive to work on and then archive it back to the file share. This should to allow you to open and work without any crashes.

If neither of these options are applicable to your situation there may be a more technical reason to the problem, in which case I would refer the question to my colleague.

Do let me know if this resolves the issue. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.


Kind Regards,

Microsoft Office tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
