hide on next mouse click

[Rick K]

I work at a training facility that developed 100's of
slide shows using PPT97. We waited (due to corporate
decisions) to upgrade to a newer version and finally
upgraded to office xp. Newer, cooler stuff, more power -
hoorah and ....
THEN we found out that all the slideshows we had created
using the "hide on next mouse click" (an essential tool
used in the majority of them)and the ones that had pasted
pictures in, didn't work anymore. (maybe corporate wasn't
wrong?)
Now we have the "new" stuff laying around that cannot be
used unless we are creating new slideshows from scratch.

I read that SP2 of PPT2002(XP?) fixes (or gives a work-
around) the flipped pictures problem but I have not read
anywhere that the transition problem has been fixed.

Has anyone heard of a fix yet? Sure would like to start
using this new/already old software.

Hide on Next Mouse Click was changed in PPT 2000, and you're seeing the
results in PPT 2002 (aka XP) as well.

You'll need to reset those animations in PPT 2002, sorry. Or use the old
PPT 97 Viewer to show the presentations, but that's not going to support
all the new animations available in PPT 2002.

I read that SP2 of PPT2002(XP?) fixes (or gives a work-
around) the flipped pictures problem but I have not read
anywhere that the transition problem has been fixed.

I'm not sure what transition problem you're referring to here. Please
clarify.
