"hidden" graphics bleed through

[Guest]

When using several graphics on a page and hiding one before the next comes
up, I periodically have the "hidden" graphic bleeding through behind the most
recently displayed graphic. Is there a way to fix this? Am using PPT 2000.
Thanks!

While I haven't seen this myself, I know of a fix if you are using PPT 2002
or later. After the exit animation for the hidden graphic, give the graphic
a motion path animation that moves it off the screen in a duration of 0.01
seconds. Set that animation to run with or after the exit animation.

If you are using one of the older versions, I don't know of a solution.

How are you hiding the graphics? I assume you're talking about when you're
animating them -- so do you mean when you use hide on next mouse click or
hide after animation?

Any possibility your non-hidden graphics are semitransparent images (that
is, they had transparency applied in Photoshop or another image editor when
they were created)?

I'm using "hide on next mouse click." Not sure about the transparency
situation. I suppose that's possible. However, I know for sure that I have
some images with transparency properties that I don't have the problem with.
Also, I can run the presentation fine on my computer. It's another user's
computer that I seem to be having the problem on right now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using PPT 2000 though, so I guess that won't
work. Is the motion path animation not available on the older versions?

This could also be a video driver issue?

That's correct. Motion paths were introduced in PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP).

Ah, if it's an issue between two different systems, it's probably a video
driver issue. You can have the user update video drivers and see if changing
hardware acceleration helps. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00129.htm

Does the other user have PPT 2000 as well?
