Does anyone have any information on PPT2007? Pros & Cons. What are some of
the neat new features? What was left out that should have been included?

Patrick Schmid said:The new equation editor is dedicated to Word 2007. PPT doesn't have it,
because it's integrated into Word and not a separate program like the
previous equation editor. Maybe the next version of PPT will get it? Of
course, you can make your equation in Word and paste it into PPT.
Which beta version are you using? The release version of PowerPoint 2007
does NOT have that problem with old equations anymore.

The biggest problem is that for some reason it does not use the new
equation
editor. Word 2007 includes it so it is strange that Powerpoint 2007 does
not. Even worse, equations created in older version of Powerpoint do not
work correctly. They have to be manually recreated.
I am using the RTM version and I am having horrible problems with equations
created originally using one of the Powerpoint versions in the 1990s. They
look cut off so that not all of the equation shows. When I double click to
edit I can see the equation is right. But then closing the equation editor
the equation box closes down to microscopic size and there is only a
fragment of the equation visible. I have tried to copy the equation and
paste, but that doesnt work either. Its a serious problem because I cannot
show any of my older presentations.
It seems to work with equations created in Powerpoint 2003, however.

So far I'm getting slow performance for slides with by-word or by-letter
animation. It's like my computer is chocking for more power. No such
problem
with PowerPoint 2003.
No changes at all. To explain further, this is what happened:
1) The slide shows up
2) Performance very slow. Everything moves is slow motion
3) After a few seconds (10 seconds or more, depending on the length of the
paragraph), everything goes back to normal.
Tried creating a new presentation on another computer. Same problem. One is
using ATI Radeon 9700 and another one is ATI Radeon X1300.
Thanks.

Programatix said:Reduced until none. Tried one by one. The ATI Radeon X1300 is using the
latest one and the ATI Radeon 9700 is using the previous version before
the latest (I really forget the version number). Both are using Windows
XP.
Can you reproduce the problem? What I did is,
1) Create a new presentation
2) Type 2 paragraph of text.
3) Set custom animation on the paragraph. For this test, try choosing Whip
4) Set the Start With to "After Previous"
5) Run Slide
On my system, the performance for the preview (while choosing the
animation) is normal. On pressing F5, the animation got choked up for a
while then continue on as normal. If the paragraph is along, then it will
be a very long wait for the choking to go away. Well... very annoying.
Again, I tried the same thing using PowerPoint 2003, no problem at all.
Even with longer paragraph.
Thanks.

That's 'Released To Manufacturers' (as in the finished product)

Echo S said:TAJ was explaining that I was saying I'm using the final (released to
manufacturing) version of PPT 2007. That's what RTM means. (Thanks, TAJ!)
This is as opposed to one of the beta versions that Microsoft also made
available, and which many are still using. The point is, I can repro the
problems in the final version, so it's not just a beta bug.

This is not how Microsoft works. Immediate patches are only done forfix it up asap.
I wouldn't be surprised if this won't be addressed until the first service
pack, which is several months (at best) away.
