| 241994 | 2004-06-05 03:17:00 | Ive created a powerpoint presentation, on some pages Ive created two tables displaying a list of business names. There are 3 pages of these, in succession. Ive set up the tables so they display the names one column at a time, each a row a time, BUT the text on the 2nd column scrolls faster than that on the first. Ive used the same horizontal blinds on all pages/columns, but the blinds timing varies on some columns, some are slower than other columns. I cant find a way to control them to the same rate. Help appreciated. John in Mosgiel. |

| 241995 | 2004-06-06 02:30:00 | Have you tried to highlight the selected row in the table and then adjust the animation speed from there? You can find some instructions on how to do this here (www-1.gsb.columbia.edu). If that doesn't help, what about using a two column bullet point layout instead of the two tables for the slides. See if you can get each bullet point to display at a standard speed. |

| 241996 | 2004-06-06 10:26:00 | Thanks for the tip. I havent seen the timing option on my PP95 program. I agree, listeing the bullet points in one table, side by side will probably fix the problem. Thanks Jen. |

May I suggest you try out the free OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org/) and see if it suits you better. It's Impress (http:) application does what the newer MS Powerpoint does. You can save your document in a .ppt format so that it can be viewed easily with Powerpoint or Powerpointer Viewer. The OpenOffice suite is a rather large download, but is often included on many computer magazines cover discs. It will quite happily install and work side-by-side with MS office products. I have made presentations using OpenOffice and played them back using MS Powerpoint and no one could tell the difference :) |
