users are trying to edit and update the powerpoint files in the sharepoint 2010 doucment library simulatenously using doucment co-authoring feature of SharePoint. While multiple users are trying to edit and update the ppt  files they are getting error"upload failed"(attached the screenshot below highlighed in red). These ppt files are of size approx 30-40MB in the library.

It is taking approx ~6-7 to update any user changes on the library meanwhile if other user trying to update, the same ppt he/she is getting upload failed error. I believe this is because of latency issue. Please advise how to reduce latency and possible resolution to fix the issue.( If anything needs to be checked from SQL side)

Hi Guys,

we have a PowerPoint running a presentation on a TV. the PowerPoint loops through all slides fine and when it gets to the end it goes back to the beginning. the problem is, we have a mouse plugged in so users can click and move the slides forward if they want to view a different slide.

once this 'click' has occurred the slideshow will stop automatically transitioning between slides.

is there an option we can turn on for this?

What does this command do
Set arg1=%1


And what would I get if I echo %1 ?

We have a machine here which will not display the powerpoint font, Century Gothic, correctly. It seems to be overlapping. What could be causing this issue on only this machine?

Images are below. Thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible in powerpoint to covert the paragraph into bullet points using vba? What I meant is, for example, I have below paragraph

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is an implementation of Microsoft's event-driven programming language Visual Basic 6, which was discontinued in 2008, and its associated integrated development environment (IDE). Although Visual Basic is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft, VBA itself got upgraded in 2010 with the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications 7 in Microsoft Office applications.[1] Visual Basic for Applications enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). It supersedes and expands on the abilities of earlier application-specific macro programming languages such as Word's WordBasic. It can be used to control many aspects of the host application, including manipulating user interface features, such as menus and toolbars, and working with custom user forms or dialog boxes

When students in an IT suite try to save files in PowerPoint 2016, they get the following error message when selecting a save location:

"An error occurred while opening the file dialog. Please save your presentation, exit, and restart PowerPoint."

This doesn't occur when logged in as a domain admin.

Any ideas?

Hi
Weird issue here.  Saving changes to a pptx file over a VPN are not working.  
The file is showing as being saved on screen, thereafter it creates a tmp file and then shows the original pptx file prior to saving the changes.
It seems to work fine locally on same LAN.
Ideas?

I have been given two 16:9 templates which are causing issues when copying content from one to the other in the objects appear smaller when pasted.

On examination I found the following 16:9 design size setups in inches with points in parenthesis:

1. Microsoft Office Default for "On-screen show" = 10” x 5.625” (720 *405) - pre 2013 default
2. Microsoft Office Default for "Widescreen" = 13.333” x 7.5” (960 * 540) - 2013 onwards default, better for 4:3 migration
3. Custom Template 1 = 10” x 5.625” (720 *405)
4. Custom Template 2 = 26.67” x 15” (1920.25 * 1080)

Content is being copied from slides using Template 1 to slides using Template 2 and appearing smaller, as expected. by a factor of 2.666 (26.67" / 10"). This means that users are having to scale everything up by 2.666, reposition, re-margin text, increase font sizes etc. when reusing content from Template 1. Nightmare!

I didn't design the templates so I am wondering what the rational was for the designer to deviate from the new Office default "Widescreen" settings and then to increase it when releasing the new version Template 2.

Is it purely a choice abut matching the number of points to Full HD for projection quality optimisation? It seems a pretty weird thing to do when there are many thousands of slides using Template 1.

What is the "Best Practice" here when considering content migration?

Hyperlinks are not working properly in PowerPoint 2016.  Sometimes they open, but behind the presentation.  it needs to be ended to view.   Other times it does not even open.
I have done this numerous times in earlier versions, but cant seem to get them to work in this version.
I have looked on line and it only advises me to do what I am doing.  There is some setting that is not correct, but I cannot determine what it might be.

I'm printing handouts two slides per page to an HP 651 color printer (though the printer does not matter). Each printed page has today's date at the top, right and a page number (not slide number) at the bottom, right. There are no headers, footers or page numbers specified in the print job (each option is not check marked). This is not controlled by the slide master. It is an issue with each printed page, not each slide on the page.

Does anyone know where the date and page number are coming from?

Thank you.

Hello there
I have a VBA code that copies data from excel to a power point presentation. the problem that I have is that I cannot set the position of the copied table in powerpoint. it doesn't work in a for loop.

Sub ExcelRangeToPowerPoint()
    
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Dim rng As Range
        Dim PowerPointApp As Object
        Dim myPresentation As Object
        Dim mySlide As Object
        Dim myShape As Object
        Dim PPPres As Object
        Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
        Dim SlideNum As Integer
        Dim counter As Integer

    Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
    PPT.Visible = True
    PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Users\Ashkan\Desktop\Powerpoint autoupdate\1.pptm"
    
For counter = 1 To 3
    SlideNum = counter
    Sheets("Sheet" & SlideNum).Select
    'Copy Range from Excel
    Set rng = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:B5")
    rng.Copy
      
    'Paste to PowerPoint and position
      Set myPresentation = PPT.ActivePresentation
      myPresentation.Slides(SlideNum).Shapes.Paste
      
      Set mySlide = myPresentation.Slides(SlideNum)
      Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)
        Set position:
          myShape.Left = 128.88
          myShape.Top = 68.4
          
          Set mySlide = Nothing
          
Next counter

    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  
End Sub

Select all Open in new window

Line 29 to 33 is not working for table number 2 and 3. it only repositions the table 1.
how can I select this table in power point in order to reposition it?

Hi there

I need a VBA code in powerpoint to compress every picture to 150 pp quality.
Is there a way to do that with "Application.ActivePresentation.SaveAs"?

OK. So let's say I have a deck and I have created a new template and now I want to apply this new template to this deck...my current thinking is: create a new presentation based on my revised template and then use reuse slides to import the old slides into it? Is there another better way? Thanks
