PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

I am trying to change the width of an already narrow Powerpoint table column. But PPT would let me neither increase nor decrease the width. What do I need to do to control the width freely? (Font size of text in the column is set to 1)

I have a table in Powerpoint. When I increase the width of one column with the mouse, it eats into the width of the neighboring column.

How can I change the width of one column, without affecting the width of the neighboring column? Instead, if I widen one column by 1 inch, the overall table should just become one inch longer.

CURRENT SCENARIO:
I am able to print both colour and B&W, but when I choose a print option
For Email, it automatically prints colour, unless I do a few more clicks to set to B&W.

For PPT, there is a drop-down option to choose colour or B&W, unfortunately if I dun click on it to choose B&W, it defaults to colour.


WORD Doc print, as a user I need to click on Printer Properties, in order to get to colour options to choose B&W.

IE, ctrl + Print as a user need to click on Printer Properties, in order to get to colour options to choose B&W.

May I suggest that for those staff who have been given rights to print both colour and B&W…
1.      can IOE set their print default to B&W AND
2.      if they need to print colour, these staff can by themselves choose the colour print via the option.

How do I record my voice with PowerPoint (Windows) Export to MP4 Feature?

I have a current version of Windows PowerPoint and see how to select

Use Timing and Narrations

 Create Video

But do not get any prompting after that.

When do I start speaking?

And where is the highlighter I was reading about?

All I get when I create the MP$ is "Trial"..."Trial"..."Trial"...

This is a licensed copy, obviously. What gives??

Thanks.

How do I add an image so that it always appears in the same place on each screen.

And how do I customize for rare exceptions, when the watermark would cover important information?

PowerPoint (Mac) How to Expand/Collapse All Sections??

I have a pitch that grows and grows, now with dozens of sections. Sometime, I need them all expanded, like when I want to search on a key word. Other times, I want them closed.

Is there a menu option or keystroke that does this??

I have a VBA project with several userforms and modules that's evolved over many years. As of today, PowerPoint 2016 on Windows fails to load the pptm project without error and I've tracked it down to one userform in which all of its ~20 controls except one (a MultiPage control) have disappeared and hence the numerous corresponding control events code, which is still present, is complaining.

When I open the project in PowerPoint 2013 or 2010 the userform appears correctly and the project compiles. I have exported the userform from 2010, deleted it from the project in 2016 and re-imported it into the project in 2016. The userform still appears to be empty apart from the one MultiPage control and the project doesn't compile.

This userform isn't the only one using a MultiPage control so I don't think that's the issue. If I remove the userform from the project and the associated .Show method elsewhere, the project compiles normally.

What is going on?!

I want to put an object. e.g. a rectangle in a powerpoint slide that, when I click on it, it will open an excel spreadsheet. What is happening is, when I click on the object (on presentation view) it just goes to the next slide.
How do I do it? Can anyone help?
(I am using ms/office 2016)

I struggle to arrange text boxes properly in PowerPoint, and I can't seem to find solutions on the web.  For example, why can't I move the bottom of the text box highlighted in the attached Word File, and in the attached PowerPoint slide, up further? Can someone point me to the solution or an article that explains how to effectively manage text boxes in PowerPoint?

I have these two Excel files attached. One is a chart I saved out of PPT. The other is the content of that chart saved to a separate Excel file. The problem I am having is that the file size of the Chart file is much larger than the manually created Book1 file that I made with the content I wanted from the Chart file. I have a PPT file that has several several charts like this, so I am trying to clean the chart files in PPT of whatever is creating this extra space so that it will in turn reduce the size of my PPT file. I have already tried the embedded font steps and everything else suggested to reduce it (these charts must remain Excel editable too as opposed to pictures). So can someone tell me what is creating more size on the Chart file compared to the Book1 file and how to get rid of it? We are using Office 2013.

Some Powerpoint 2010 questions..
  • Can an animation be applied to a table - I don't think so but want to be sure
  1. Can animation be used with a master slide? Or is it just animation painter all the way if I want to apply the same animation to all my bullet point slides.
  1. Why is it that an effect applied to the top master slide sometimes does not affect all the other slides based on it?

We're running IBM Notes 9.01 as mail client under Windows 10. While migrating to Office 2016 a strange problem appears:
All Office applications can send the currently open file as a mail attachment (File -> Share -> E-Mail (as attachment, as PDF, as XPS, just as Link is greyed out)).

Only PowerPoint can't: when clicking the same menu in PowerPoint a single button "as link" is visible and it is greyed out. The other 3 options are just not there.

Any idea?

Notes works fine, it is the default mail client under Windows 10 1709. I.e. clicking a mailto: link opens Notes.

BTW, Win 7 - Office 2010 -  Notes 8.5 no problem, PowerPoint displays all options

I am developing a generator for PowerPoint presentations.
At the end of a generation cycle, the output file should be shown in PowerPoint.
Just opening the file therein is not sufficient since a previous version of the file may already be open;
that would then need to be closed first.

This action should be triggered from a Scala program, which runs on a JVM.
The solution should not require running an MS Office macro (such as given here).
We may assume the file is not being edited in PowerPoint; there will be an option to generate it as read only.

I need solutions for Windows and Macintosh.
I have experimented with AppleScript from the Mac Script Editor, but I only manage to
have PowerPoint open a file when no file with the same name is open yet.
So I would appreciate help.

I included the tag Microsoft Word, because this question likely applies for that as well.

I have a client that has a organazation chart I believe was made in Power Point 2007. She has Power Point 2010 she is unable to edit slide 2, when she tries it says "The organization chart cannot be opened because it exceeds the maximum size". I have tried to edit it from Power Point 2010, 2013, and 2016 on different computers and I get the same error. I am able to open it on 2 other machines running win 7 and power point 2007 without and problems.
I uninstalled office 2010 from her computer and installed office 2007 but still have the same problem?
