Why can’t I see part of my bullets?

Why is it that I can only see just a part (the right side) of all bullets in my presentation?

1. Display your rulers if they are not already visible (View | Ruler).

2. On the ruler above the slide, you’ll find some tabs – try selecting your bulleted content and drag one of the tabs a little towards the right.

Link to a slide and all animations are lost!

When I link back to a slide and click the link, the slide shows itself in ‘finished’ mode with all animations, events and transitions done. How can I prevent this?

That’s something that can be termed as ‘feature-by-design’. Here’s a workaround:

1. In your presentation, insert blank slides between all slides.

2. Give these blank slides a slide transition that automatically advances in 00:00 seconds.

3. Place all hyperlinks to the blank slide before the slide you actually want to hyperlink.

Now when you view the slide show, all animations for a particular slide will show.

PowerPoint for Handhelds

On the Palm, Dataviz’s Documents To Go program includes the Slideshow To Go component that allows you to synchronize, edit and rehearse your PowerPoint files and make last minute changes to your presentation.

If you have an older handheld that runs Windows CE, you’ll be thankful to find a copy of Pocket PowerPoint included with the product. For some reason, Microsoft seems to have abandoned the development of Pocket PowerPoint for the PocketPC platform.

On the new PocketPC platform, you’ll have look at third-party software solutions like Pocket Slideshow, Pocket Slides and iPresentation Suite.

Finally, you’ll find hardware solutions like Margi’s Presenter-To-Go for both Palm and PocketPC handhelds.
