Would this not work, look through the other FAQ:s before you contact our support.
Try these 2 steps one at a time since one of them alone may fix the problem.
1. If the web folder does not open when you click on it this can depend on saved passwords mixing up the windows and Slide Executive logins. Try clearing saved passwords by going to a command line window (to open: [Windows] Start->[type] cmd.exe [press Enter]) and running this command:
rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr
2. Saved network connections can also be an issue. You can clear these by running this command from the command line window (to open: [Windows] Start->[type] cmd.exe [press Enter]):
NET USE */DELETE (NOTE: unfortunately this will remove your other mapped network paths too)
It is also possible to run against live2.slideexecutive.com/<myId> since this goes to the same account.
QUESTION: I have a POTX template where I have added some extra guidelines as design support for my colleagues. When I make an export the guidelines do not follow?
This seems to be an issue of the PPTX/POTX format. When exporting only PPTX slides and applying the POTX template the guidelines disappear.
SOLUTION: Involving the PPT format makes the guidelines stay. This means you can add a PPT slide to the slidebasket/virtual presentation and then export to PPTX or PPT and the guidelines will follow. Exporting to PPT format from the POTX template will also make the guidelines to follow, regardless of mix of formats in the slide set to export.
(you can turn on the guide lines feature by right clicking anywhere on the slide in PowerPoint and choose "Grid and Guides...")
PowerPoint sometimes fails to save its own files in a perfect way, making it hard for 3rd party software to handle it. Opening the presentation and re-saving it again, remarkably often solves the import problem…
So try opening up the presentation in PowerPoint and press Save again before you try to re-import the file, and you may get successful. If you want to assure that the file really is re-saved you can choose Save As and save the presentation under a new name and then upload the presentation.
Would this not work, look through the other FAQ:s before you contact our support.
Sometimes after an export, bold text turns normal, centered text is aligned to the left, a text box moves around etc. This can happen for a number of reasons like:
So, some thumb rules that can save you some headache are:
In some cases this will not be possible, your original slides come in different formats, sizes and templates, your goal is to apply the new company template to all slides and so on. Well, then it doesn't matter how you do it, manually through PowerPoint or automatically through Slide Executive, you will have to make a manual inspection to assure that your new presentation looks good.
Yes Internet Explorer 6 is supported, nevertheless we do recommend that you upgrade to at least Internet Explorer 7
That is unfortunately a known issue when creating thumbnails of templates. All templates (pot/potx) are required to contain at least one slide to make it possible to import them.
Therefore you need to add at least one slide in your template before you import it to Slide Executive.
