Problem PPT shuting down

Hi, I am working with PPT 2007 and it's great but I am experiencing a big problem: it shuts off everything very often. How can I avoid this to happen? I was told it might be due to my document being too heavy (many graphs, pictures, advanced features), it that normal?

RE: Problem PPT shuting down

Hi Florence, thanks for your query. If your machine is crashing when you are creating complex presentations it is more likely due to a lack of RAM on your machine or conflicts between Office and other installed software. Try opening and working on the presentation on another machine and see if the same thing happens. If the presentation is stable, the problem lies with your hardware.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Powerpoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
