Hi,

I still have a problem of copy-paste. And more i search,
more i'm surprised.. I took a presentation of 6Mb and
make a copy on a textbox ( very simple text box, 1 line
of blue text and another background color, no link or
effects or something like that )
I close the presentation and i create a new one. And
then... i make the paste and the CPU grows up to 100 %
and memory don't stop growing up, powerpoint don't
respond anymore

I was thinking about a problem with images or something
like that but with a simple textbox ????
Could you help me ?
 
How bizarre.. if i take the original presentation, and i
try to delete the textbox, the cpu goes to 100 %
There is only a sentence with a "V sign"

Is it possible a problem with this caracter of or problem
of compatibility with another version of powerpoint ?

Thks,
Serge
 
Go to Tools/Options and turn off Allow Fast Saves. Then resave the
presentation with a new name. It should be its normal size.

Leave Fast Saves off.
 
After i open and save this file on XP/powerpoint 2003, i
could not edit any text box. For each of them i edit and
made a change in the text, wait 1 second, and the
application becomes unresponding.
Is there a specific tool to convert files ?
Or do you have any other idea ?

Do you really mean 2003? If so, you're using beta software - anything might
happen.
I'd go back to a backup of the file before you opened it in 2003.

Otherwise, make certain you have printer driver installed locally and that
it's selected as your default printer.

Ouups, no I mean 2002.. sorry !

And yes i've a default printer installed, with local
driver.

It must be something else..
I have save the file as a 2000 presentation and open it
on a NT computer with powerpoint 2000. All works very
well (even if the file size grow up to 70 mb ). But i
can edit all I want, save the file,...

After that i open the file on a Xp machine with ppt 2002,
save as ppt file ( so 2002 format) and have the problem
again, i was not able to edit or delete any of the
textbox.

I'll become crazy ;o(...

Hi Serge; try this:

HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00526.htm

It has a link to Glen Millar's site where he gives instructions for saving
the presentation to HTML then reopening it. This can sometimes "clean it
out" ... strange as it may sound.
 
What do you mean "save the file as a 2000 presentation," Serge? If
you're saving as anything other than just "Presentation *.PPT" that
could be the problem.

See, there isn't a "PPT 2000 presentation" format. That option really
says, "97-2002 AND 95." It's the "AND 95" part that's the killer here.
It's known for bloating file size.
