I saw that someone recommended in the past to lower the hardware acceleration of the video card, but that did not work. any suggestions? Thanks We found that if PowerPoint is the only MS app running it works! I think its mostly Outlook causing the problem. Thanks for the information, mersman. I think there's an Office-wide add-in of some sort that's started when Outlook, or maybe Word, is started. (Or maybe if Word is the Outlook editor, that makes a difference?) That was the case with another user. It went something like: Outlook running, templates disappeared. Outlook set to use Word as editor. Word had an add-in installed. Removing that solved the problem but user needed the addin. So disabling Word as editor in Outook (or not using Outlook/PPT together) was the workaround. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |

Can't see task pane design template
I've read many excellent recommendations in this discussion. Here's my input.
I've two workstations, in this configuration: Windows XP Pro, 5.1.2600 SP2 Build 2600 Dell Optiplex GX280 Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset, driver 6.14.10.4410 MS Office Powerpoint 2003 (11.8110.8107) SP2 MS Office Word 2003 (11.8106.8107) SP2 MS Office Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8107) SP2 Full administrator rights Microsoft PowerPoint, no Standard Add-ins; COM Add-ins, MultiMgrAddIn.AddInDesigner1 and Microsoft PowerPoint Presenter Tools Checked the registry keys with these results: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\office\power point\addins - shows the items above hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\office\powerp oint\addins - no powerpoint key in registry Icons sometimes show up after Office detect/repair, but vanish again following a restart of the application. I followed a tip I read earlier in the discussion regarding Word, with these results: 1. Start Powerpoint, then open Outlook - slide layour/design task pane icons visible. 2. Start Outlook, open Powerpoint - icons invisible. 3. Start Outlook, open Powerpoint, kill Word via task manager, restart Powerpoint - icons visible. 4. Start Outlook, disable Word as editor, open Powerpoint - icons visible. 5. Start Powerpoint, open Outlook (Word editor disabled) - icons visible. 6. Open Word then Powerpoint or Powerpoint then Word - icons visible. Thanks. |

Thank you for following up with this information, jfmtech. It seems to
follow what we're hearing from others. I sure wish we could figure out what actually causes the problem, though. (I believe the MultiMgr/Presenter Tools is part of the typical PPT installation and not a separate add-in.) Do you have any Word macros or add-ins or helper apps or whatever Word uses :-) ? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ "jfmtech" wrote in message ...

Sorry for the delay in responding. No Word add-ins, macros, or helper apps
are installed on my two affected systems. Any closer to discovering the cause of this issue and a possible solution, Echo S? Thanks.
