Slides inn wrong order on Slide Sorter

[Guest]

This one has me stumped. When I look at my presentation in the Slide sorter
the slides are in inverse order. What I mean is that the first slide has a
number "1" under it but it is in the upper RIGHT hand corner, not the UPPER
LEFT hand corner. I have to read the slides from Right to left instead of
from left to right. it is making it ver confusing. This is the only
presentation that is doing this.

Is there anyway i can switch it back to normal?

Is there any chance this came from someone with a Hebrew, Chinese or other
right-to-left language?

no. the orginial presentation was created by a co worker here in the US. We
have no idea how it changed. I went back to the earliest version of the
presentation that we have and they are all they same.

Thanks for any advise you can give

I'm mystified, really. But I'd be happy to have a look at it, if you're free to
turn it loose on only my promise of confidentiality. And if it's a couple megs or
smaller in size. email to steve at-sign pptools dot com

Try this tiny macro and see if it doesn't fix your issue:


=====Start Code=====

Sub eMxiF()

ActivePresentation.LayoutDirection = _
ppDirectionLeftToRight
ActivePresentation.Save

End Sub

=====End Code=====

Neat fix. Now for extra MSBonus Points: how'd it get backwardized in the
first place?

I've voting for middle-eastern demonic possession.

Although I suppose it could have been a single byte file corruption or an
interim save/reviewer language issue.
