Redlining Powerpoint

[Judi]

Is there anyway or any third party product that will
redline powerpoint files? I mean a traditional
attorney's redline. I know it has that compare and merge
feature but in this instance that is useless.

Any help is appreciated.

You can:

Use comments to mark areas of concern.
Use text arrows and such outside the slide boundaries, so they do not change
the appearance of the slide.
Use the 'Send to MS Word' option and redline stuff there.

Judi,

I'm looking for the same thing. Softinterface has a product called DocDiff
that does only the outline items in a presentation. Which is good if you
don't want to compare graphs, tables or imbedded objects.

I haven't heard of any programs that can do this. Unfortunately for you,
that's not too surprising, considering the amount of work it'd take to write it
vs. the relatively small demand there is for such an animal (we get maybe one
or two posts a year here asking about this).

If you need to flag differences for later analysis, here's one possible
approach: Export all slides in the presentation to relatively high resolution
bitmap files then use an application that can do image manipulation to subtract
the data from one image from the other. That will give all zero data or a
totally black image if the two slides are the same. Any non-zero pixels
represent a difference between the slides that a human could investigate.

My answer may be eight years (too) later, but there is actually now a third party product available. I just got myself a trial version and I am VERY happy with the quality of the product. I still have 29 days to go on the trial, but at $140, I will probably buy the product.
