an error: "The expected version of the product was not found on the system."

Michael:
Within Media Player, Tools, Options, File Types, .mp3 is one of the file
types checked to use WMP as the default player. I'm not aware of a setting
inside PowerPoint 2007. There may be one there that I can't find, so please
let me know.
I created a new PowerPoint show as a test and when I insert an .mp3 I get

Question regarding Variables

2009-11-29T22:16:01Z

Is it possible to create and display a variable on one slide and then go to
another slide and display the same variable? .. I use PPT 2003 with Vista.
If I generate a number say 112 on slide #2, I'd like it to display on
another slide.

VBA - How to count masters in v2003?

2009-11-29T21:04:33Z

I thought it'd be easy, but I can't find an object to get a count off
of or to loop for a count. I'm just trying to count the masters in the
active presentation. (Every TitleMaster + every SlideMaster) I need
the count of all the actual masters as seen in the masters view.
Thanks,
Melina

And when you re-inserted the sound did you make sure it was linked?
To check select the sound icon >Sound Tools and use the drop down menu Sound
Options
Does it say "Contained in File"(embedded) or is there a path (linked)

If you have Real Player on your system it might be that the mp3 files in
your presentation got associated with Real Player. I would make sure that
the file association for mp3 files is Windows Media Player and go as far as
re inserting them into your presentation

Cool ! And thanks for letting us know it worked.
FWIW, I noticed something interesting:
If you add a blank text box in PPT 2003 (ie, click, drag with the textbox tool
but don't add any text) PPT deletes it automatically.

Re: Missing Codec?

My mistake. I "read" Media Player and "thought." Realplayer. Ok, I uninstalled Windows Media Player and reloaded Windows Media Player 11 for XP but still have the same problem. It is: the .mp3 files within any of my existing .ppt files do not play (.wav files do play). The files play when they are opened from within the show directories or in the general computer environment, outside of the PowerPoint program. When I try to "preview" the sound file inside a show I get the following dropdown....."MCI Error-The specified file can not be played on the specified MCI device. The file may be corrupt, not in the correct format, or no FIL".

RE: Question about Animated Slides

2009-11-29T15:52:01Z

Hi,
as an alternative to manual editing and capturing screenshots of the running
slide show, you can try this add-in:

What it does is to split animation steps into different slides, so that you
can retain the impact animations when printing.
Examples are also provided at the above page.

Hi,
you can also try the add-in available at this page:

It allows you to split the slides at each animation steps, and also supports
motion effects. Examples are provided at the above page so that you can
better realize what I am talking about.

Ellen just did a tutorial on this. I assume that is where you saw it.
I don't know if she pulled it or I just can't find it. Either way, she does
just what Glen suggested - Push Transitions on backgrounds with limited
vertical elements.

Hi,
You could try the Push slide transition and make one slide go away and the
next one come in?
