PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
I have a user who is experiencing the same problem. The only work around was
to edit the graphs using the format size inputs. I don't know if this is a great work around, but it allowed the user to finish the project without further crashes. Is MS working on this? "Reuben Rinquest" wrote: Hi There, I'm experiencing a problem with PowerPoint where it crashes when I click on and move a Pie Chart within my presentation. I'm currently running Office 2007 (SP2) on Windows XP (SP3) and have 2 GB RAM, at least 1.2 GB free when doing the operation. Please could you let me know if this is a bug and if there is a solution to this issue? Thank you. Reuben |

PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
I can tell you guys that yes, MS is aware of this and yes, they're working
on it. (I also have had problems with this bug. It's incredibly annoying. The only fix I know of right now is to uninstall SP2.) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
Any idea of when the fix might be available. I've had numerous issues/bugs since the SP2 udpate. The pie chart crashes involve more normal editing behavior than moving the charts w/ arrows keys: multiple quick clicks, simply navigating between chart elements w/ arrows, changing fonts or colors... all can generate crashes. Every office 2007 program I use (XP-SP3: OL, XLS, Word, PPT) generates crashes lately w/ increasing frequency. Not a novice... I regularly update, routinely troubleshoot problems and scour the net for insight on problems. But this is the buggiest patch I've ever installed. (I'm also getting multiple, mysterious .tmp files at every file save, same file size, in the same folder. Not traditional ~xxxxxxxx.tmp, small kb, files that get flushed when the file is closed but eight-character .tmp files that have to be manually removed.) What's up? thanks for any insight.

PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
Same issue here. When you have to make little changes to 200-300 different
charts, this gets SOOOO annoying. For awhile I wasn't sending the error messages, but I started the last couple days in hopes that Microsoft will realize how often it happens (like every 30 seconds! lol). I read on another site somebody said aroung Aug.20th that an updated was expected by Microsoft in the next month... I hope its sooner than later! I have the SP2 update and had my IT person reinstall my Office Suite, but neither have fixed the problem. As for the hangup, its similar to everybody else, when I double click on something in the chart or just get into a grove and am making changes pretty quickly - it will hang up on me; forcing me to go into Task Manager and End task. Usually will save my changes when it pulls up again, but when you are making very slight changes and messing with tons of numbers, it suchs having to check each chart to see if the numbers are new or old. "Echo S" wrote: I feel your pain. I struggled mightily with the SP2 chart bugs last weekend, and it was just maddening. You are correct -- it seems clicking almost anything in one will generate a crash. I don't know when there will be a fix for the charts, sure wish I did. I just know they're aware of it and working on it. (I know that doesn't really help either of us, and you have no idea how frustrating that is for me.) -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
I did the same thing Mike did, didn't send error reports back to Microsoft. I now send EVERY SINGLE ONE. and everyone one of my Office 2007 programs has crashed far more frequently than ever... attributable, I can only surmise, to SP2. I encourage every to send every single error report. I've had working sessions where I must have sent 30 reports in 2 hours... It's a horror and I feel as though I have a non-functioning piece of software at this point. But not some whimisical little app that I can uninstall, it's OFFICE for goodness sakes. I can't even run my business without it!!! Microsoft are you really listening? "Mike" wrote: Same issue here.

PowerPoint 2007 crashes when moving Pie Chart
PPT MVP Enric Mañas located this hotfix a few days ago.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...rss&spid=11264 It does not mention SP2, and I've been unable to confirm if it's supposed to fix our problem with charts crashing or not. But I installed it on my machine anyway, and it seems to have done the trick. I haven't tested it thoroughly, but in the few tests I did do, I wasn't able to make charts crash PPT -- by arrowing, clicking too much/too quickly, moving the chart on the slide, etc. I don't know how corporate IT staff will feel about installing a hotfix, but I think it might be worth a try if you can. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

Is MS working on this? "Reuben Rinquest" wrote: Hi There, I'm experiencing a problem with PowerPoint where it crashes when I click on and move a Pie Chart within my presentation. I'm currently running Office 2007 (SP2) on Windows XP (SP3) and have 2 GB RAM, at least 1.2 GB free when doing the operation. Please could you let me know if this is a bug and if there is a solution to this issue? Thank you. Reuben |
