powerpoint has 52 slides. works well until slide 47, 48 & 49. when they
come in they come in the first one or two items come in, in slow motion, or a
hesitation. it's crazy then 50 and 51 work just fine. I have checked every
timing, deleted and re-entered I've done everything I can think of. It's
like it have some coding imbedded inside the slide. Is there some way to can
see the page view and page coding? Kind of like in dreamweaver when you can
see the image of the page as well as the html? I've talked to the folks up
state and they suggested I come to this site. I can email the powerpoint
with good and bad slides in it slides 45-52. Hopefully some one has
encountered this before.
 
Sparkie,

What's on slide 47?

loads of pictures perhaps?

maybe your pictures contain too many mega pixels?

Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

or something mysterious?

if you edit slide 47

select one object

then for everytime you press the "tab" key on your keyboard powerpoint will
cycle through each object... perhaps there are some objects that shouldn't
be on the slide?

cheers

As well as what TAJ said

Is this version 2007?
What animation is being used on the problem slides?
 
I did that. Still hesitates. But this has been the best new help I've had.
Where can I send you a copy of the eight slides in the powerpoint so you can
watch it and see what I'm talking aobut?
 
Hi Sparkie

I had a look at the file and there was no hesitation on my machine - I guess
mine has more grunt than yours ;-)

I had a look at the pictures on the slides you mentioned and some are less
than 100% so my advice would be to cut -> edit -> paste special -> paste as
jpg those pictures which should reduce the file size and help your machine
to handle the file. Please make sure these are not your only copies of your
pictures are you can't undo this action once you've hit save.

Also, if you run through the presentation once does it hesitate on the
second go? You could run through it once before the real performance and not
close PowerPoint and you might get a better result on the second go.

Oh, and this may be worth a look:

I did both types of round tripping and neither one seemed to help. I deleted
the three bad slides and then recreated them and they still had the same
problem. Can you look and see if their are tags inbedded in a slide?
