slide sorter mode

[wardawg]

do desktop support...have a user with a Ppoint presentation that has 359
slides in it.
File opens and runs just fine but he likes/needs to use the slide sorter
mode when reshuffling the deck of slides to customize the presentation to
suit the class/topic at hand. When selecting slide sorter mode the slides
come up blank with...those that have a text title will dispaly that but no
images appear at all. In normal mode the slides display the images therein.
Have tried adjusting the zoom to be 66%-50-33-25% makes no difference. Can
give you this much info:
Dell D610 latitude laptop, 1 gig of ram, vidoe drivers have been
updated...1st thing done. Office 2003 sp2 to version 11.8110.8107 on XP pro
with SP2.

Also make sure that the show format tingtool isnt set to minimise the view It
is in the slide sorter toolbar and looks like two A's

I think I was able to replicate this in PPT 2003.

If you switch to B/W view while in, say, Slide Sorter view, switch back to
normal view and click Close B/W View, the sorter and other views can get out of
synch.

Try this:

Switch to sorter view
Choose View, Color/Grayscale, Pure Black and White
When the Grayscale view toolbar appears, click Close Black & White View.

Does that put a little color in your user's life?

================================================
Steve, thanks for the attempt but it was a no go. Let me elaborate more on what he sees. When going to slide sorter mode powerpoint displays a screen of slides of 4 rows, 5 per row. Zoom is set at 66% by default when switching. The slides consist of a completely blank (white) background surrounded by a black border (all 4 sides)...will display text at the top if exists. So no image makes it to the slides whether in color, black/white, or varying shades of gray...nothing, nope, nada....
