Have a PPT with a couple of slides that have custom animations on some text
fields that stop appearing properly after a period of time. Problem occurs
when running PowerPoint Viewer 2003 or 2007, but not on the first few loops
of a continuously looping PPT. After some number of loops of the PPT (no
apparent pattern, except that it tends to occur after 5 or so loop
iterations).
Other details: the animated text uses Expand "By 1st level paragraphs" text
animation and the text line comprise 2 different font sizes of the same font.
Of four (4) similarly animated text lines, sometimes 3 (or all 4) of the 4
will not "Expand" animate properly, and then from that point on always fail
the same way on subsequent iterations of that slide in the continuous loop.
The symptom for this "Expand" animation problem is a "stacking" of the
characters on top of each other (like an old typewriter that doesn't advance
the character carriage - for those old enough to remember manual
typewriters!!)
