Office PPT FAQ and solutions

Why I’m writing: Well, there’s always something that hasn’t been updated…

Bad Way

1. Violent direct suffix change may lead to document typesetting errors or PPT lack of animation effects;

2. It may require registration and other requirements to install Office2016 on the demo computer with USB flash drive, and the system may not be compatible with it, and usb flash drive may carry viruses, and usb flash drive often switch between different computers is the most common way to spread viruses;

3. Converting PPT to PDF will make PPT lack animation effect;

4. Put PPT into flash some low version of the system, like XP, Win7 may not play open;

Good Way

1. Converting PPT to EXE will not cause major problems in most cases;

2. Save the PPT export file as the 97-2003 version.

3. High version PPTX (Office 2007 and above) packaged as a CD can be opened almost on computers without Office installed; (recommended)

  • 3.1 PPT/PPTX (PPTX after office2007) package into CD
    • 3.1.1 Left mouse button click “File “–> click” Export “–> find “Package presentation into CD” and click” Package into CD”–> select “Copy to Folder” in the pop-up dialog box –> set folder name and save where –>” OK “–> the pop-up dialog box asks you to choose yes or no. Select “Yes”.
    • 3.1.2 Save the CD file to the USB flash drive, open the USB flash drive next time, the PPT file under the CD folder can be used. Note: The Autorun.INF file may play PPT automatically (this one is sometimes used as a virus checker), but in a security bulletin KB967940 released on February 8, 2011, Microsoft updated the Windows AUTORUN feature, Restrict autorun on Windows XP, Windows Server2003, Vista (Vista is a transitional system to Windows 7), and Windows Server2008 platforms to CD and DVD media only. The system does not automatically run when users use USB devices, network shares, or other non-CD /DVD media that contain the AUtorun. Inf file.
    • 3.2 It is possible to use a lower version (like Office 2003) to edit files and then pack them into a CD, because higher versions are backward compatible (that is, they cannot open higher versions of things) but lower versions of Office have a lot of bugs.
