powerpoint >> SmartArt Graphic Content Placeholders in PPT 2007

by rich » Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:10:25 GMT

Hello,

Is there a way to set Content Placeholders in SmartArt so that two lines of
text can appear one at at time? For example, I inserted the SmartArt graphic
"Chevron List" from the Process category. I then put an extra line of text
in one of the Content Placeholders (like two bullet points) but I cannot set
the lines of text to appear one at a one time (with separate mouse clicks).

I've tried this in many of the SmartArt graphic Content Placeholders with no
luck. Is there a way to do this or are the Content Placeholders fixed so
that no matter how many lines of text you add they must all appear at once?

Thank you.

AFAIK they are set to appear as one object.

The only way to get what you need and it's little messy is to select the
completed smart art and ungroup twice

Now apply animations to the individual parts, you will need to give bullet
and text 'with previous' animations so they appear together.

In addition, this may be the best solution anyway if the original poster
intends to save the file as a 97-2003 format or use Package for CD. SmartArt
animations don't stay when the file is saved as 97-2003 format or when the
file is played in PPT 2003 or prior or the PPT Viewer.

I'm new to PPT 2007 and I'm having difficulty ungrouping it. I couldn't find
ungroup at first until I went to the Office Button on upper left, then PPT
Options, and then Customize, and then I added it to the Quick Access Toolbar
on the upper left. So then I selected the group in the slide I wanted to
modify and clicked the ungroup icon but nothing happens. Can you advise?
Thanks.

Rich,
Copy the SmartArt, paste special as a metafile, select the SmartArt, on the
format tab under Picture tools, in the arrange section click group button,
choose ungroup. PPT will ask if you want to convert to a Microsoft drawing
object, click yes. You will not see much difference yet, click on group
again and choose ungroup, now all the objects will show as individual boxes.
That said, maybe there is a better and faster way. It that is the case I am
all ears.

Hi Luc,

Thanks. That did it, but I can't imagine doing that for every different
SmartArt graphic. Maybe it could be a feature in the next version to make
the PlaceHolders ungrouped with one-click. That would be nice because they
do look awesome.

Thanks again.

1. Smartart graphics in PPT 2007 

Hi everyone,

I'm using Powerpoint 2007 and am using smartart graphics to insert a 
hierarchy flowchart object. There are a number of different versions 
available but I need one where there is the ability to insert a picture at 
the top of the box and then have the person's name and title underneath the 
image. I know that I can insert an image manually as a shape fill but this 
inserts the image into the background of the entire box which isn't what I 
want. Also I didn't want to have to do it manually as I need it to keep all 
the updating functionality that smartart graphics have.

I wondered if someone could tell me if there were any addons that you can 
buy to extend Powerpoint 2007 that would include one of these smartart 
graphics?

Appreciate any advice.

2. Powerpoint 2007 SmartArt graphic handles

3. create two text placeholders above multiple content placeholders 

Am new and finding I can't create the slide I want in the 2003 version of 
Powerpoint.  Seems I can't place two text placeholders about multiple content 
placeholders on each slide.  Is there a way around this?  Thanks for all and 
any help!

5. PPT 2007: Trouble with PPT 2003 (?) graphics colors 

I'm using PPT 2007, SP1, and am opening files that arrived on my desk as 
.ppt.  (It's unknown to me whether at one time in their lives they were ever 
.pptx's or not, or whhether anything on the slides had a former PPT 2007 life 
or not.)

When I open the files, certain graphics (very few of them, I might add, and 
I look at literally hundreds/day) have the colors rendered incorrectly.  
Those graphics always seem to be three-dimensional button-looking things, 
with color gradients.  Upon saving as .ppt, PPT 2007 gives me the common 
warning about previous versions won't be able to edit the graphic, but they 
will be able to edit the text.

If I were to open the original .ppt file on a PPT 2003 system, all colors 
would be rendered correctly.

To fix the problem on PPT 2007, I had to go into color themes, and create a 
new theme.  By using the theme that was created automatically from the 
template of the .ppt file, and searching for apporpriate accent colors, I was 
able to get the graphics to render correctly in 2007.  And from then on, 
through .pptx and .ppt saves, the colors continued to render correctly.

What kind of graphic would cause such problems?  Is it something that at one 
time was created in PPT 2007 and copied into a PPT 2003 file?  What might we 
do to keep this from happening in the future - any instructions we can give 
the folks who are creating the presentation files?

And finally, what's up with these "accent" colors in the PPT 2007 theme 
colors?  If you don't get in and edit one of the colors sets, you'd bnever 
know they were there, would you?

Thanks.

6. PPT 2007 Template/Master Slide Placeholder Confusion

7. PPT 2007 crashed on "Stop fitting text to this placeholder" 

All of sudden (over the weekend), my PowerPoint 2007 now crashes when I 
select "Stop fitting text to this placeholder." Other than installing the 
latest OS/Office updates since that time, I haven't done anything else to my 
system.

Any clues? Anybody else noticed this behavior?

Thanks.
