PowerPoint 2008 Crashes

[JRCFROMOH]

Hi, I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Macbook Pro 2.6ghz Intel Dual Core and my PowerPoint 2008 keeps crashing on me whenever I'm working on a presentation, does any one know if this is a known issues or is it just an issue with my Macbook Pro? I've learned to deal with it, but it would be nice if it wouldn't happen!!! Thanks!!!

Hi JRC

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

Mostly I start with running DiskWarrior followed by Disk Utility to repair
permissions. Have you tried these?

Thanks for the help, I don't think this helped my problem though. It doesn't happen every time, but every now and then, Office tends to crash when I'm listening to music through iTunes while working on a project, so I don't know if the problem is being caused by a driver issue. I do know that an update is being released in March for Office 2008 so maybe this is one of the issues that is going to be fixed.

I too have the same problem. I run 10.5.2 and Office 2008. Today, while creating a PP presentation, PP crashed 10 times in 2 hours. Interesting, I too was using iTunes. No help with DiskWarrior or others. This is an MS problem.
