My PowerPoint design template/background only shows in thumbnail .

[Guest]

Suddenly, I am unable to edit my PowerPoint (2003) programs because in normal
view, the 'slide' area does not reflect the chosen design or graphics
displayed in thumbnails. The design and graphics are fine when I run the
Slide Show - but its impossible to edit and design. Definately no Viruses
but this has happened since adding Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and FrontPage to suite.
Lift off!

Hi,

As a first step you might try clicking on Help, Detect and Repair.

Hope this helps,

Maker sure that you've installed SP-1 for Office 2003. You can do this by
going to Help/Check for Updates.

If it still happens after that, then try changing hardware acceleration.

Hi There,
Changing hardware acceleration two notches to left DID THE TRICK!
... and this is the first time this Grandma has 'fixed' her tech problems
herself!
Great concept/service - thanks so much!

Way to go, Grandma!
(Fixing it yourself can be such a good feeling.)
