Has something changed?

[Dave]

Ok I know I've lost it but:

In slide sorter view I used to be able to double click a slide and it
would take me to normal view for editing. Now it does nothing on double
click!!

Does anyone know why it has changed?

XP2002 sp2
PPT2003 sp2
All security updates applied and I suspect this has altered something!
Done detect & repair.

Dave,
Nothing has changed. Still works here in PPT2003. This has cropped up a few
times before. A reboot usually solves it. But do check the mouse settings,
or accessibility settings. Maybe there is something wrong there.

What Luc said. Also, try pressing the Enter key instead of double clicking.

Luc,
Thought as much. Have checked the settings, all OK.

Funny thing is I've just purchased two high spec show machines and of
course did all the updating before going on shows AND they don't respond
to the double click scenario either.

Something has changed...
I'll have to wait and see if anybody else is suffering from this.

Thanks for the alternative method, that works OK.
Now to the problem of reprogramming my mind, you know the thing, old dog
new tricks.

BUT, I'm still chasing the problem.

Dave,

Maybe...

Double-clicking stops working

Do you have add-ins installed? I think the SwiffPoint Player especially
causes this issue.

/slaps head for not guessing that one/

Yep, that was it, thanks guys.
