From: JTylee on 4 Feb 2009 19:05 PPT 2007---I am using a "swish" animation in my powerpoint with the letters falling in time to the music. When I "publish" it to a CD and move to a folder it removes this animation from the slide; the text has no animation. How can I get this to carry over to the presentation. I believe it has something to with compatibility to 97-03, but even with 2007 viewer it does not play the animation.

Hi Have you used any of the new effects on the text? If so, when saving as 97-2003 it will convert the text to an image and lose the animation on the way. But, you cry, I'm not back-saving! Unfortunately, PowerPoint is doing that for you if you include the Viewer when you publish to CD (well, that probably isn't technically true but the effect is the same). This is because despite it being called the 2007 Viewer, the 2007 Viewer is basically just the 2003 Viewer and the compatibility pack so it can open '07 files (a few other changes were made I believe but nothing major). To avoid the problem: 1. Do not include the Viewer: while in the publish -> package for cd dialogue, click 'options' and select 'archive package'. This will save the ..pptx/.ppsx to the cd without back-saving. But recipients will need to have full '07 on their systems to get the full, animated presentation to work. 2. Animate the letters individually: put each letter in its own text box and animate them. 3. Distribute in a different format such as a movie or flash file: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00112.htm http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00147.htm Hmmm, I've just done some testing and in the '07 Viewer I still get some animation (the whole word comes in at once) - can you confirm that it doesn't animate *at all*?
