An add-in is a special module that you can use to add function to PowerPoint.
Things that you can't do natively in PowerPoint are suddenly possible because of the power of an add-in. There are many available, both free and for purchase, and if you are a coder you can create your own. If you go to Tools Add-ins you will see a dialog that lists any add-ins that you have loaded. If the list is blank, then you are not using any add-ins. Normally you know whether you have loaded an add-in, but some are installed as a part of other standalone products so that their function is also available to you from within PowerPoint. While we're at it, *some* of my favorite add-ins can be found at: http://officeone.mvps.org/index.html http://skp.mvps.org/ http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/ http://www.corpimaging.com/PowerTools/ and some that I'm forgetting right now. Apologies to those I've missed. Here's your opportunity to let the community know about you add-in(s). "s.o'b" wrote in message ... Could you just take a minute to tell me what an "addin" is?

Sonia:
If you go to Tools Add-ins you will see a dialog that lists any add-ins that you have loaded. If the list is blank, then you are not using any add-ins. Not necessarily true. Depending on how a PPA addin is installed, it may or may not appear on that list. And COM addins don't appear there ever. There's a code snippet here that'll list ALL installed add-ins. Maybe I should turn it into an add-in? But if I did that, should I have it include itself on the list?

To Bill Dilworth: I'm sorry, I really don't even know what a dual screen mode is. I assume it is a setting? "Echo S" wrote: You shouldn't have a problem with PPT 2002 on Windows 2000. It sounds as if there's something on the system that's making the dialogs and task panes not show up, though. Do you use Norton Antivirus?

I am using PowerPoint 2002. Actually, as I have explored this more there are many things not working. If I click on Insert Picture from Click Art, I have the hour glass for about 1 second, then it disappears and I don't get the Click Art window up. Exactly the same thing happens when I click on Slide Show Custom Animation or Transition. I don't get the windows that usually pop up on the side of the screen. I am using a lap top from work. It is booting up very slowly all of a sudden. I am looking at System Information. I just realized it is Windows 200 Professional. Is it a problem running Power Point 2002 on it? I have done a few other presentation without any problems. Thank You! "Sonia" wrote: What version of PowerPoint are you using? Can you describe what you mean when you say the tools aren't working. Do you mean that you can't assign a transition or an animation, or do you mean that when you do apply them they don't work? -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials "s.o'b" wrote in message ... I had a power point presentation done, then decided to add more slides. I set up the text and pictures on the slides but all of a sudden when I try to use the Custom Animation or Slide Transition options, absolutely nothing happens. I am baffled.
