Hi
This has been a bugaboo for YEARS, I have a perfectly legal copy of MZ Pweerpint from years ago an if I make a presentation in it, which I do, the new microsith says it has to be fixed and has replaced "certain" slides with blank slides.
THAT IS A LIE.
Micrsludge puts a bit of "xml" code atop random slides which are a SCRIPT to make the slide APPEAR to be white.
It used to be that if I had done a pwrpt x i could remove the xml not a biggie but of late I have just been exporting to a pdf and use it.. however the college dropped the Adobe(tm) liscence and now uses the Chrome(tm) browser as the master app for opening pdf AND IT IS A PAIN... the presentation goes sideways and sometimes makes things wonky but the college is thinking of the students first and trying to reduce the cost.
So, I have a presentation from LAST SEMESTER and it was on the USB so I opened it and mjicrosludge did it's tricks WITH THE FILE BEING MARKED READ ONLY...
Fortunately I had the file as a pdf and got on with things but ...back home I opened the PPT to look at and guess what!!
The latest version of Impress SHOWS THE MASK...and the original slide under it...but...try as I might I could not find any kind of script buried that put the cover on the slides... it is there but I just couldn't find it...
So...siiiiigggghhhhh YET again, i looked on the net because there previously were some wholly owned subsidary sites of microspy that would "remove" the offending script and guess what...
THE FUD is amazing...microsludge has PAGES of supposed 'fixes" for ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO TO A presentation and it is all just bunkola...
So... I'm saying to myself...hmmm says myself to myself what if I try this...
Only I'm not gonna say what i did...
If you have the same problem, using microstupids original app from years ago or Impress feel free to contact me, AND IF I TRUST YOU I will give you the secret...
it is so simple that it is amazing...and ...NO CHARGE!!
