Always get 'unable to import ppt into Producer' error

2008-10-11T15:34:00Z

I have Vista Ultimate with Office Pro 2003 Powerpoint. I downloaded
Microsoft Producer 2003 and then 2007 and get the same problem. I can import
an audio track but always get the following error when importing even the
simplest PPT file: "*.ppt could not be imported. Microsoft Producer was
unable to import the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation." I saw one fix, to

You can use a picture placeholder with a frame. Most of the themes that
shipped with PowerPoint have picture slide layouts (picture with caption,
actually). Pick one that's similar to what you want, adjust that slide
layout, and then insert your images by clicking the icon in the placeholder.
You can also insert your own picture placeholder on the slide layout in

Re: reuse slide changes text to "italics"

2008-10-11T13:00:39Z

I'm sorry, I don't have a fix.
The only reliable way I know to get it to work is to do the copy/paste or
insert in PPT 2003.
If you'd like to email me a couple of sample slides that exhibit this
behavior, I'd love to be able to include them in a bug report. email to
echos at indy dot net and include the text of these posts so I remember why

I have a large presentation that I want to break up into lots of small

I tried the suggestion to make a copy of the presentation using (savecopyas)

Yes, I know I CAN resize the inserted picture...I just don't WANT to resize
it. I would like it inserted the exact size I want...AND with the appropriate
border around it.

When you insert a picture in to powerpoint it has a guess of the correct
size to first display that image. If it gets it too big or too small, it's
easy for you to manually resize to the image
click the image in powerpoint, your should see some corner markets appears,
click and hold any of the corner handles/markers, then drag the mouse to

Inserting Picture

2008-10-11T11:02:00Z

I'm using PPT 2003. I want to replace pictures in a presentation. When I
insert a new picture, it is VERY LARGE. I would like to be able to insert the
new pictures at the correct size AND have a border around it. Is this
possible? [Is there a PICTURE FRAME command on PPT 2007 that accomplishes
this?] Can I resize the picture AND add the frame by using any formatting

Re: Pack and Go Problem

In my estimation P&G was not all that reliable, and not one of my
favourites. You might consider creating an autorun CD as an alternative.
although a little more difficult using 2002 it can be done. See here

I use PP2002. I've made a show and am trying to use the Pack and Go option
under File. While it appears I've successfully saved it on my hard drive, I
cannot seem to burn it to a cd using Nero. Does anyone know what I may be
doing wrong??

Disable Snapshot Viewer Control Warning Message

I have a Powerpoint file that has a number of snapshot viewer controls linked
to .snp files created from MS Access.
On opening the PowerPoint (and after clicking "enable macros") I get a
warning message (Yes/No) for each snapshot viewer control that says "This

Re: How do I uninstall office 2007 trial

2008-10-11T03:40:36Z

The cleanest solution would be uninstalling both the trial and regular versions
then installing the full version again (you'll want to be certain you have an
install cd and valid registration key before thinking of doing this).
You might first want to see if there are multiple copies of the main PowerPoint

Re: Save as Web question

2008-10-11T03:40:35Z

You could probably just drag the title placeholder off the top of each of the
slide masters in the presentation.
You could go to the slide master (or any given slide), select the title then
run this:
Sub HideMe()
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRa nge(1).Visible = False
End Sub
That's the best way to approach it.

Thanks for that.
When I had figured out how to bring up the Slide Title view, I added the
titles, but they also appear on the slide, so I had to do a bit of moving
and formatting to get the slide to look the same as before. Invisible titles

How do I uninstall office 2007 trial

2008-10-11T02:20:02Z

I have Vista. I have a genuine version of Office 2007 installed on my
computer. However, a trial version somehow has also been installed. Now,
the trial version is expired and it won't allow me to access PowerPoint 2007.
I can access it if I pull it up and create a PowerPoint presentation, but if
