When using my normal screens (full HD using HDMI port), it is.įeels like something going wrong with image buffering, and addressing the wrong memory blocks when using transitions. I did notice when I used a VGA output screen at a customer, the bug was non present. Problems at bottum with transitions using Powerpoint. Bugs occurred straight a way, unboxed MBP installed Office, run updates. Having the latest OS, should be about enjoyment not ignored bugs ?Įxact same problems MBP 16GB 15" Mountain Lion Retina. Using powerpoint means cross plarform compatibility.
The whole reason using a MAC in the creative world is for a big part presenting. Posted same at MS, it's a bug between Mountain Lion AND Powerpoint. There is some interest on the Microsoft answers forum as well but still not many have noted the problem: Anyway - it does not look like it is a high priority item for Apple or Microsoft. I can simply not use transitions or not have my images go to the bottom of the slide - but it would be best if it is recognized as a problem and corrected. Regardless, it is real and represents a defect. You have to find the right google words to track down these discussions otherwise they are buried.
Powerpoint for mac 2011 how to#
Many people don't know how to find or use these reporting tools. is very transient, and therefore may not rise to the level of a repotable problem for many. In addition, the slide bottom stripe problem occurs several slides later. If the image is above the very bottom stripe - it does not seem to be a problem. I think the reason for low reporting is that the problelm only occurs if transitions are used (many people don't use transitions) AND the image must be at the lower edge of the slide.
Powerpoint for mac 2011 update#
They are saying it is up to Microsoft to update PowerPoint - meaning that no one knows what is going on and putting the burden on each other is not likely going to fix the problem. I just had a discussion by phone with Apple and they are aware of this. It is a Mountain Lion/PowerPoint problem and not just a retina display issue.
Needs to be fixed! Part of my living is giving such presentations and this problem is a real issue for me and a distraction for audiences. This discussion is also going on on the MS website (see below discussion): int-2011-transitions-on-mountain-lion/41892328-3d27-418b-8679-8604282ac8e6 The problem occurs on my new retina display macbook pro with Mountain Lion AS WELL AS my older imac running the same powerpoint version and ppt files.
I found the same problem with slides cutting off at the bottom and parts of prior slides showing up during transitions in PowerPoint - latest mac version with all updates.
