PowerPoint - Slow transition between slides

Asked By backoftheclass
07-Feb-10 01:24 PM
Hello out there,

I am having a problem with changing slides in powerpoint 2007.  That is,
when I am in normal or slideshow view it takes almost 5 seconds to change
slides!  Most of the slides have pictures on them.

One suggestion I have tried is to compress the pictures in the presentation,
and that has not helped.  I have also tried the suggestions on that webpage
titled "powerpoint got the slows" and had little success.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

On the tool Bar when you click on Animations, is there a checkmark in he
Advance slide after a certain timeframe? This might be your problem.

5 Minutes is a bit excessive, agreed.

Generally, the reasons for this are one of two things.  Either there is a
lot the computer has to do to load the next slide (massive graphics or OLE
objects), or the computer is busy doing something else.

So ... how big is the presentation?  Big = slow
How were the images inserted?  Just because it looks like a picture does not
mean that PPT sees (and opens) it as a picture.
What else is running on the computer (anti-virus/backup/indexing/disk
management)?

Best way to make DVD of a PP slide show? PowerPoint I am having a go at making a slide show in PP 2007, there is user inserts the DVD? And stuff like this, I better know. Thanks in advance. - - dorayme PowerPoint Discussions PowerPoint (1) Windows DVD Maker (1) Windows 7 (1) Office (1) Vista (1) Windows Live Photo Gallery (1) Exception (1) Relative (1) Download the free PowerPoint Player and add it to your DVD. Include instructions on how to use it. If the end user does not already have PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Player on his computer I recommend to them that they install the PowerPoint Player on the DVD to their hard drive. That way they can always view PPT article <igctlj$mg3$1@speranza.aioe.org> , Yes, OK.

VBA to VB.Net code Help PowerPoint Hello all, I am an absolute beginner to VB and trying to write a one simple code. My issue is I wrote a working code to automate an animation within powerpoint i.e VBA and need to transfer it to a user form in VB2008 so simple button click will open ppt and perform the following actions. The code to open powerpoint with a blank side and apply the ppt object library isnt a problem, just a Visible = msoTrue .Line.ForeColor.SchemeColor = ppForeground .Line.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255) End With PowerPoint Discussions COMException (1) ShapeRange (1) PowerPoint (1) PageSetup (1) Shapes (1) Office (1) Error (1) EventArgs (1) I do not use your code to open PPT etc. Presumably it is getting an object reference to the PowerPoint app and presentation, and most likely the code below needs to be modified to work with that object reference; right now, it is written to run within PowerPoint. Many thanks for your input Steve. I have the same question posted on VBforums but That's really all I am stuck on now.
