Actually, I'm impressed with the way that PowerPoint works with two monitors. You can edit your presentation in your non-slide show monitor and see it displayed in the slide show monitor. Importantly for this post, when PowerPoint becomes the active app, it automatically returns to Slide Show mode.

Posted:, 08:32 PM Is what you're referring to as a 'shape' actually a SmartArt Graphic? Or did you create the shape within one or within a Chart Object? Otherwise I've not seen this occur & can't force it to happen, so I really can't say for sure. First make sure that Office is fully updated - 12.1.2 is the current level.
Also, repair disk permissions & shut down then start up your Mac - don't just Restart. If that doesn't produce any improvement reply with more complete details about the shape involved, what tool used, what exact procedure you're using & anything else about the file's origin, etc. Regards :) Bob Jones MVP Office:Mac On 8/26/08 3:46 PM, in article 9absDaxw, '[email protected]' wrote: Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I would like to add animations to some text (within a shape) that I've created, but when I open the 'emphasis' pane of 'animation effects' most of the choices within the list of animations are grayed out. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make the other choices available? Posted:, 09:05 PM Thanks for your help!
I created a shape by going to the 'object palette.' I just opened a blank slide and drew a square by selecting the square shape from the object palette. Then I click on the 'custom animation' panel and (with the shape selected) I click on the 'Add Emphasis Effect' from the 'Add Effect' line.
Most of the choices are grayed out and I don't understand why. I did just discover that if I select the slide TITLE and try to add an effect, the whole list is available to me. Why can I choose from all of them for a title but not a shape? Is what you're referring to as a 'shape' actually a SmartArt Graphic?

Only certain effects can be applied to a shape with no text content. Type the text first & see if the other effects don't come to life.

Regards :) Bob Jones MVP Office:Mac. Posted:, 11:52 PM Wow, starting to get to the heart of the problem. On my blank slide, when I type some text in the shape, I'm able to animate it with any choice from the list. However, on the slide I'd previously done which has a table on it, it will only let me animate a new shape (with text) with a few select animation effects. Very interesting. At least I understand what's going on a bit more now - it seems to dislike the table being there. (Note I'm not selecting the table; rather, I've put a shape with some text in it on top of the table.) I may have to recreate the slide without using a table.
Thanks for your help! Posted:, 12:08 AM A Table falls into the same category as SmartArt & Charts preventing the choice of certain effects. Try creating the shape outside the table then dragging it in. Or for what you already have, cut it then paste it away from the table, then move it after you apply the effect.

Why can’t I open attachments in Outlook? Recent versions of both Outlook and Outlook Express have been changed to prevent access to attachments by default. You need to take some additional steps to allow you to access those attachments again. Microsoft has the perception of designing many of its products with lax security with the most common example being that default settings impose little or no safety restrictions. As security issues have become more of a Microsoft has slowly been making changes to make applications more secure by default. The Outlooks are two examples.
Become a and go ad-free! Remember that. Because of this, what’s needed to get access to your attachments is dramatically different depending on which you are using.
Outlook Express users have it easy. In the Tools menu, select Options, and then in the Options dialog, select the Security tab. In that dialog will be a checkbox labeled “Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a ”. It is checked by default. Uncheck it to regain access to your attachments. Outlook 2002 users have a bit more of a challenge.
Warning: getting Outlook 2002 to open potentially unsafe attachments requires editing the. As always, the registry before you do so. Microsoft’s knowledgebase article that deals with this issue in detail can be found. Among other information it details the specific registry keys that need to be added or modified to allow access to specific types of attachments. Personally, I find it somewhat interesting that they suggest having the sender of the attachment resend it under a different name before they present modifying the registry as an option. I’ll also admit that if you’re at all squeamish about playing in the Windows registry that’s my recommendation also.
Outlook and Outlook.com are two different and unrelated programs. But once we get past a possible typo, they can both handle ics, not isc, files. Moving Outlook Express folders from one machine to another isn't obvious.
Moving Outlook Express folders involves finding them, copying them, and importing them. And then there's the address book. Even though they share similar names and do similar things, Outlook and Outlook.com are actually not related at all. Due to complexity of attachments in emails, changes you've made to a document that was emailed to you can disappear. Posted: October 13, 2003 in: Shortlink.
Tools/Options/Security/uncheck has been done in my OE6 (operating Windows XP). Clicking Reply, then dbl clicking attachment line seems to work. What happened to paperclip on the body of the incoming mail and why the problem these past few months? Today, I tried to send an attachment.
Soon as I clicked Send, the Attach: line disappeared. However, the recipient said he received it. Thank you for this site: until tonight, I thought the problem was all mine alone cuz even my tech support at Award Winning was at a lose.
OK, this is a long shot, but I have something for you to look at at least. In Windows Explorer: Tools-Folder Options-File Types, scroll to and click on the “XLS” type, hit the “Advanced” button, click on “Open” (it should be bold), click on Edit. The Application is the full path to Excel with /e (in my case: “C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11EXCEL.EXE” /e ).
Now, on my machine, “use dde” is also checked, and the DDE Message is open(“%1”) The quotes are important, because if the filename has special characters, like spaces, in them they could confuse it. Even if your filename doesn’t, if the path to the temporary directory does (as in “Documents and settings”) does, then the same applies.
You might compare the settings you found for “.xls” and “.doc” to see if there’s an obvious difference on your machine. Some else asked last year and I didn’t see an answer: “Sometimes when I receive an email with an attachment, when I open up the email to read it the attachment is not there. However if I forward the email the attachment again becomes visible.” This is the case for me.
I am using Outlook 2002, not as an exchange server. I recently reinstalled Office, as my main hard drive died and I don’t know if Outlook defaulted to a different setting than I had previously, as this problem just surfaced. This only happens with emails from one person that I know of (an important client). How can I solve this problem?
There are no errors messages. I have no viruses or spyware. Windows is updated. POSSIBLE SOLUTION I think I figured out an easier way to bypass the problem with not being able to open attachments. Try it, works for me every time. In HOTMAIL I noticed that if the button marked: “Always ask for my e-mail address and password” is selected I can’t open any attachments. However, when I make sure the button marked: “Save my e-mail address” is selected it opens every time.
Could just be a crazy coincidence or I may be onto something regarding the security feature within hotmail. Post this comment if you find it to be helpful. My guess is that it might work just the same with other email adresses than hotmail. Let me know if this works for youthat it’s not a fluke.
Sending my utmost appreciation to STan who posted on June 15, 2006 06:39 AM the following: Every one that has a problem opening attachments with common names like book1.xls and so on, should clear their OLK114 (or like this) because it gets full with files like book154.xls when opening the same file name attachment many times. It helped me I just found this by accident. (end of STan’s post) I spent literally hours on the phone with MS trying to solve this problem, and they didn’t have a CLUE! And it was corrected as Stan suggested.
The OLK14D files were in the temp internet files, but NOT being cleared when I deleted my temp internet files, so I cleared them manually, and ALL attachments open fine in outlook now. Thank you, thank you STan! I found thay some users are unable to open JPG files as attachments in MS Outlook 2003 unless they are in the “local administrators” group or the “power users” group on MS Windows XP pro and Windows 2000 Pro.
I think there may be a way to change the security at the registry level to allow access so the limited user can open the JPG file by clicking on it from Outlook 2003. I’m thinking this is an operating system security permissions issue more than an Outlook application problem. I still need to do some testing to see if this theory proves to be true but I have a long weekend ahead so it’ll be next week before I’m able try. If anyone else want to try, feel free, or if you alreay know, let me know so I don’t have to do any testing.
I think I’ll just need to figure out where the JPG entries are in the registry and start testing from there. Of course, I’ll use a test PC and a test account that is not in the domain administrator’s group. Later, Helpdesk. Hi Leo, I hope I am in the right forum and that you can help with a vexing problem. Normally I can receive attachments including jpegs from other people and open them with no problem.
I have found that when my son sends me attachments from his computer using XP Home and BT Yahoo webmail, the attachments are initially unopenable. They seem to be in jpeg= format. I have got around it by setting jpeg= ‘s to open in Windows picture and fax viewer in Folder Options but they will not open in any application except My Pictures. The icon looks “empty”. I can also open them if I same them to my hard drive and rename them. I had not heard of jpeg=’s before this.
This problem doesn’t happen with attachments from any other computer and it didn’t happen in the past with attachments from my son. I use Outlook 2003 and XP Home.
It is a mystery. Sorry to trouble you but hoping someone can help. Cheers, John.
—–BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE—– Hash: SHA1 I’ve not heard of “jpeg=” either. I believe it’s an encoding problem on the sending end, but it’s one I’ve not seen before, and I’m not sure how to resolve it. It’s unlikely that he has the option to change the message encoding, but switching to, or from, plain text emails might help, or at least change the situation.
And it sounds like you’re already doing what I would have suggested: saving them and renaming them.

I had no problem in the past opening ANY e-mail attachments in Outlook Express with OS WinXP Pro and antivrus AVG Free.
I’m now using Win7 Pro with Plusnet’s Webmail and antivirus Avast Free 2017 and can’t open any attachments. Double clicking gives only the option Save As which is a nuisance.
Is my problem related to Avast or what? My ISP (Plusnet) cannot help and you may wish to note that I said Plusnet’s Webmail because I’m not sure it’s the same as generic Webmail. Any advice with be welcomed. Before commenting please:.
