powerpoint >> Create a custom combination chart in PPT 03

by YnJpZGJpbGw » Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:17:01 GMT

I need to create a combination custom chart type that includes a stacked bar
chart (2 categories w/ $$ value) and a line chart (1 categories w/ % value).
-- I have done this before, so I know it's possible (and I remember thinking
how "Ass Backwards" it seemed at the time). But I apparently did not take
notes as to how I had accomplished it, and now I can't figure it out again.

Does anyone know how to do this???

Hi

It sounds similar to the technique used in this article:

Wait for iTunes to fully launch and take you to the video.

Our office just switched from Office 2003 to Office 2007.  In a Powerpoint 
presentation that was originally created in Office 2003, when I go into 
Insert+Header/Footer, it does not show my existing information.  I am unable, 
therefore, to edit any of my header/footer information.  Does anyone know how 
to do this?  I have a lot of documents with existing information and I'd 
really prefer not to have to recreate all the documents.  Thanks!

8. ppt 07 VBA compatability with ppt 03

I have code that runs during an active presentation. I recently tested the 
code using a friend's PPT 07. The code ran fine with one exception. 

There is an embedded picture (enhanced meta format) that generated an error.
The vba code rotates the picture. The error was that the picture was not 
found within the shapes collection. I found the shape listed among the other 
shapes and groups. I could rename the picture but I got the same error. 

I tried a quick cut and paste to see if a newly embedded picture would be 
found, but no joy. The picture was created from a grouped autoshape. The 
autoshape was copied and then pasted special in enhanced meta format. 

Did I get the error because pictures in PPT 07 are in a different collection?
Or, did the error derive from a difference in enh meta format between the 2 
ppt versions? 
  ' The next several lines place and rotate the picture 931
  ' picture 931 is in enhanced meta file format.
  
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Rotation 
= Hdg

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Left = 
(XPosAbs_1 -ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 
931").Width / 2)

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 931").Top = 
(YPosAbs_1 - ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("picture 
931").Height / 2)
Thanks
