PPT2000: Typing Is Slow When Recording a Macro (222746)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

This article was previously published under Q222746

SYMPTOMS

The characters take a long time to appear on-screen while you are typing in Microsoft PowerPoint.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if you type while you are recording a macro. When you record a macro, PowerPoint generates Visual Basic for Applications commands for each keystroke you make. This overhead causes a delay, and your keystrokes are not sent to the display at a normal speed.

RESOLUTION

To restore normal typing speed, stop recording the macro. To do this, point to Macros on the Tools menu, and click Stop Recording.
