flash player 19 not compatable with PowerPoint
Hi
I have been inserting swf animations into power points for a long time and they have always worked. If I open one of the previous PowerPoint's and run it the animations work great. Recently I have found a problem in that if I edit the PowerPoint and save it. When I open it again I get the following error messages:
- PowerPoint found a problem with the content of XXX. Power point can attempt a repair to the presentation. If you trust the source of this presentation click repair. I have 2 options repair or cancel. I click on repair. and the next message appears
- Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. They might not be registered on this computer only 1 selection OK and the next message appears
- PowerPoint removed unreadable content in XXX[Repaired]. You should review this presentation to determine whether any content was unexpectedly changed or removed
This removes the swf insert.
I found that version 19 is incompatible with PowerPoint, this was highlighted to me by a user on Microsoft Communities. if you hit this issue you need to uninstall version 19 and go back to 18 or earlier. To avoid the issue you then need to disable autoupdates.
Regards
Dennis
