Default how can I turn off message "Press escape key to cancel saving doc"

When working with 2007 Power Point and when I save my changes to the
presentation there is a message asking me:
"Press the excape key to cancel saving this document". I hate this! How
can I turn it off? I cannot find preferences either. Thanks!

It sounds as though you may have some kind of add-in installed that's bringing
up this message. Might that be the case?

there....thanks.

"preferences" are in Office Button (the big one) PowerPoint Options
Advanced but I've never seen the "feature" you mention.

This will only pop up if the the presentation is taking time to save the
document. I haven't found a way to stop it from popping up, yet.

Interesting ... I've never seen that, even when saving fairly large files over
a network.

I wonder what triggers it? Network timeouts mid-save or something like that?

I've seen it often when saving a file in compatibilty mode if presentations
has several PPT 2007 features. Apart from that haven't pinpointed a cause.
It's a pain since I've seen it pop on top of active dialogs of add-ins.

Thanks All...At least I am not the only one seeing this "MS Feature". And, I
was saving to a jump drive rather than my hard drive...I usually do not do
this but needed in this instance. Maybe that is the problem, although I do
think it should be looked at by MS...This message is not needed at all.

Thanks again.
