Cool, thanks.
You might want to disable Norton's Office plug-in. I know it's caused
odd
issues like this in previous versions.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329820 might help with that. I know it
doesn't list your issue specifically, but it's worth trying. (Sorry I
didn't
think about the A/V thing before suggesting you move your post over
here!)

I understood it was a serious question and responded but the response
did
not
transfer because I copied the query and pasted it before the answer
was
registered.
I am using the 2007 version of Norton Protection Centre with the
update to
allow it to operate with Vista. All updates are installed.

Thanks for posting this over here, John.
So, what antivirus program do you use?
(It was a serious
question!)
Anybody got any ideas for John?

All of these add-ins are ones that ship with PPT as part of the
document
inspector, so those shouldn't be causing problems.
I'm stumped. The fact that a reinstall fixes it temporarily is
particularly
interesting.
Hopefully someone else will pop here with ideas. You might want to
post
in
the PowerPoint-specific group to see if anyone there has any
ideas,
too.
Oh, what antivirus program do you use?

PowerPoint attempts to restart and gives me an error message.
What does the error message say?
If you go to Office Button | PPT Options | Add-ins, what all is
listed
there?

Since upgrading to Office 2007 Professional I have been having
a
problem
with
both PowerPoint and Word.
When the document is closed and I exit the programme, both
Word and
PowerPoint close and then I receive a message that there is an
error
in
the
programme and it will attempt to restart. Word then resrtarts
and I
can
close
it again without any further problem but PowerPoint attempts
to
restart
and
gives me an error message. Next time I start PowerPoint it
tells me
it
did
not shut down properly and sometimes attempts to start in safe
mode.
Other
times it just locks up. I have reinstalled the programme and
run
the
diagnostics programme. Only reinstalling it allows me to start
the
programme
the next time around, then it is back to the same tricks. It
is
very
annoying
and frustrating having to re-load the programme each time I
want to
use
it. I
prepare PowerPoint presentations at least Twice each week.
