I am using PowerPoint 97 with W2K, SP4.

I have a presentation that I can view all slides when
logged in as a user with administrator rights on this
laptop, but when a user designated as a "power user"
tries to view the presentation, the slides with text
objects do not appear. I've checked the security for the
powerpoint presentation, and everyone, admins, and power
users have "full control".

I do not want to make my power users, administrators on
this laptop just to see the presentation, any ideas or
suggestions?

This is weird and shouldn't happen. As far as running programs are
concerned, Power User is pretty-much equivalent to Adminsitrator (broadly
speaking).

The major different I can think of is that administrator gets access to
other users' profile folders (under Documents and Settings). I wonder if
something related to the presentation is stored in another user's folder
(wild stab in the dark).

Alternatively, try using FileMon and RegMon from www.sysinternals.com to see
what files and registry keys Powerpoint is attempting to access.

This has nothing to do with group policy, though. There are some
knowledgable Office people hanging around in the microsoft.public.office and
microsoft.public.powerpoint groups. I suggest a repost there.

Regards

Oli
