Re: Inserting mp3 music fails ?

Wow, I don't know. I can tell you that I can insert MP3 and WAV files just
fine here on 32-bit Win 7 with 32-bit Office 2010. (I have 2003 also
installed on this system.) I haven't noticed any others reporting issues
with MP3s and WAVs.
I'll ask on the beta goups if there are any known issues with sound files.

Cannot insert mp3 or wave. Turned off my Virus program and Zone Alarm,
still no go.
The program hangs (Presentation1 - Microsoft PowerPoint (program not
responding)
Then it sends the error to Microsoft ? If I had a way to copy the error
report it I would include it.
I have tried a lot of different mp3 files they all do the same.

? One half?

In any case, go to your video properties dialog (right-click the desktop,
choose properties or personalize, make sure you're set to "Extend the desktop on
to this monitor" for the secondary monitor.

With luck that'll do it for you.

Re: VBA-Ho how to change order of designs in the collection

edw...@discussions.microsoft.com (Edward) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:09:01 UT

Thanks. If you wonder why I need to move the design template positions. I
first insert a design that is used only for the coverpage ( first slide) and
2-3 following slides, then for all other sidles( starting at slide 4) I
need a second design. I apply the new template (ApplyTemplate () ) to slide

Problem is, that simply creates a range of one shape, the table itself.
It doesn't do anything that you couldn't do via
oSlide.Shapes("myTablesName")
And that gives you a reference to the shape, not the table object within it or any

IOW, Edward's code might work if it's followed by more code to insert a new
slide using the design that's now at position 1 . Then deleting it if need
be.
Perhaps.

If I understand your question correctly, the key here is to find a way to
get a pointer to text box. When you first add it, you can assign the textbox
to a variable. After you close it, you have to generate that pointer

Thanks Steve. I am afraid you are correct and there is no simple way to do
what I want, but I had been led to believe from researching this that it may
be possible to interact with the cells in a table as a ShapeRange. I even
found a couple of examples, but couldn't get them to work.
The code I've tried looks like this:

You can save as .pps.
Choose "OtherFormats" (or just click "Save As") and in the save as type
dialog scroll well down to PowerPoint 97-2003 show *.pps
