Hi folks, One of the big shots at my company has created a slide deck that's saved in his OneDrive. He wants to share it with others. He went to File-->Share in PowerPoint and immediately got this message: "Only document owners can share their documents. Please ask the owner to share the document."

The idea is that the visitor will be created by a page on the monitor with a menu created in PP that has a list of presentations which can be selected by pressing the appropriate number on a numeric key pad. Pressing the number will start the presentation and then return to the menu. While I can produce the individual presentations I have no idea how to create the menu and return to it after the...

Everything was working fine, but this past Sunday the remote stopped working when using Presenter View (ie. clicking the remote would no longer advance the slides). I have... Read more ..read more

Hi. I have saved and used a custom theme but accidentally got the colour specs wrong for a very dark colour. I didn't notice this in the type because it is close to black but when I applied it to a large shape I noticed my error.

From what I can tell the instructions available here –... Read more ..read more
