CPU usage of PPT blown up by single slide?

[Guurt]

Hello All,

I have a PPT2003 presentation of 250 slides with text, tables, columns,
pictures and graphs, with hyperlinks and custom shows. The total is about 15
MB and all seems to work well.

I noticed that the CPU usage of this presentation is 100% constantly. By all
my other presentations CPU usage, while doing nothing is 0% (as it should, I
guess...) By kicking out slides and saving again I found out that 1 slide in
particular makes the CPU usage go from 0% to 100% while doing nothing at
all!!

When this slide is safed separately, it remains on 0% cpu usage (?). The
slide is a plain textslide with no pictures, links or animations what so
ever.

Does anyone have any clue?? And how can it be solved (and should it be
solved at all?)

Thanx!
Guurt

It's possible that the presentation file is in the process of becoming
corrupted. I think that I would try "round-tripping" to see whether that
resolves the performance problem and any possible corruption. See:

Hello Sonia,

Thank you for your swift answer!

I tried it several times / ways but didn't help.

I tried other compu's and there is no problem at all!!??

I should have tried that one in the first place of course...

So it seems to be a local problem then.

I will start with repairing my Office2003 I guess...

Thanx again!
