When working with 2007 Power Point and when I save my changes to the
presentation there is a message asking me:
"Press the excape key to cancel saving this document". I hate this! How
can I turn it off? I cannot find preferences either. Thanks!

It sounds as though you may have some kind of add-in installed that's bringing
up this message. Might that be the case?
 
Steve, no add ins...just the usual built in security stuff...do you know
where I can find "Tools - Preferences". Maybe I can turn it off
there....thanks.
 
"preferences" are in Office Button (the big one) PowerPoint Options >
Advanced but I've never seen the "feature" you mention.

Interesting ... I've never seen that, even when saving fairly large files over
a network.

I wonder what triggers it? Network timeouts mid-save or something like that?
 
I've seen it often when saving a file in compatibilty mode if presentations
has several PPT 2007 features. Apart from that haven't pinpointed a cause.
It's a pain since I've seen it pop on top of active dialogs of add-ins.

Thanks. Hey, if you haven't already, do send a report to Mr. B.
 
Thanks All...At least I am not the only one seeing this "MS Feature". And, I
was saving to a jump drive rather than my hard drive...I usually do not do
this but needed in this instance. Maybe that is the problem, although I do
think it should be looked at by MS...This message is not needed at all.

Thanks again.
 
I found the reason of that annoying, stupid message.

After pulling my hairs for several days trying to get rid of that message I remembered that at some point several days back I CHECKED the option to save the FONTS with the presentation because other people had display editing problem because they don't have the fonts of the original presentation in their computer.

I UN-CHECK IT and problem solved.

By the way preferences is located in the little tiny drop down menu in the title bar. Select "More Commands/SAVE/Preserve fidelity"
GOOD LUCK
