Hi,
I want the best tips for getting a spreadsheet, or partial spreadsheet into PowerPoint. This would also includes graphs. I have used the PowerPoint application, what toggles should be turned on or off? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am making a presentation with PowerPoint 2003 and would like to highlight text using a paintbrush effect (I want to show color over black text) I beleive that's possible with PowerPoint 2003, but I'm not sure how to do that. Any suggestions Would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I feel that I had the best looking results with charts if I selected the chart in Excel and did Edit | Copy. Then in PowerPoint, I did an Edit >> Paste Special and chose, Picture (Enhanced Metafile).
Cheers!

Hi,
If you check for highlighting in PowerPoint Help, you'll see that PowerPoint does not include a test highlighting feature. It is suggested that you create a drawing box over the text, select the color, set transparency to 50% and use no lines. This will create a similar effect to highlighting in Word. You could also reverse the Dim effect. Have the text come in matching the background colour and then change to a brighter shade.
Cheers!

Hi,
My PowerPoint slide is locked and I can't edit my design. Does anyone know what I did or how to unlock it? Thanks in advance for advice.

If your file is a PPS file. Instead of double clicking on it, open up Microsoft PowerPoint and open the file from there (File -> Open).

If this isn't the problem please explain further of what has happend or provide a screenshot.

Thanks,

A bit of a bump, but a helpful one.

Unless I've misread your post, what you're asking is possible in PowerPoint 2003: view your slideshow and go to the slide you want to highlight text on, if you move your cursor to the bottom left hand corner there will be four barely visible buttons. Click the pen button (the second one) to bring up a menu with quite a few options on it, one of the options is a highlighter pen. You can change the colour of the pen via the same menu under Ink Color/Colour. When you end the slideshow it will ask if you want to keep your annotations, if you click keep the annotations will be saved to the powerpoint and will appear every time you open the slideshow. Much easier than using boxes, don't you think?
