Copied images turn black when animation is added in PPT
I am using Office Small Business 2003, and I am having a problem with
animations. I copied a number of images/drawing objects from Word to PowerPoint (as a Windows Metafile). Everything copies fine, and the static slide looks fine. However, when I animate ANYTHING on the new slide, some (but not all) of the copied objects get colored black during the slide-show. They still look normal in the design view. Might I be copying incorrectly from Word? I just don't know why it would do this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -erich z |

Copied images turn black when animation is added in PPT
Thanks for the tip. It gave me ideas of things to try, none of which worked.
1. I completely turned off the hardware acceleration in Windows, and it didn't change anything. 2. I checked and unchecked the 'use graphics acceleration' in my Slide Show settings, and nothing changed. 3. I went ahead and changed the resolution for the presentation, to no effect. 4. I set the color level on my display to 16-bit, again to 'no effect.' Sorry to say 'question answered' - you did give some good advice, but it didn't solve the problem....

Well then, let's kick it up a notch. Try copying from Word then paste special, as PNG.

I noted this behavior when an object's animation is set to Dim after
animation. As a long shot, is this the case in your animations? -- Bill Dilworth A proud member of the Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. http://billdilworth.mvps.org -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ vestprog2@ Please read the PowerPoint FAQ pages. yahoo.

Please make sure, that Office 2003 is up-to-date with the latest updates.
If Service Pack 2 is installed, this should solve a lot of problems with graphics.

Well, that doesn't work as I would like.
In the Word document, there is a picture. If I copy the picture as a whole, then paste it as a PNG, it works. But then, I cannot animate the individual drawing objects. If I click 'Edit Drawing', then select all the drawing objects, I can Paste those as PNG, but they all appear black when copied that way (animation or no animation). If I take that same approach (select the Word drawing objects) and paste as Enhanced or Windows metafile, they only turn black during the slide-show when something on the page is animated. If you have a link to some guides for working with images, drawing objects, and animations, I would really appreciate it. I might be able to sort through the problem that way. -erich "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: In article , Erich Zimmerman wrote: Thanks for the tip.

But then, I cannot animate the individual drawing objects. Where do the graphics come from? If I can give the same thing a try, I'll be happy to give it a shot on my computer. I've tried it with an org chart and some random rectangles and circles, but haven't been able to repro the problem.
