  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q271097

SYMPTOMS

When you record a narration with a Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Mac presentation, then create a PowerPoint Movie with that presentation, and you then view the movie, the narration may be truncated on some slides.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the slide timings are not saved.

When you finish recording a narration the following (or similar) confirmation message appears:

The narrations have been saved with each slide. Do you want to save the slide timings also?

If you click No, then each slide is displayed in the movie with an equal amount of time. If the narration lasts longer than the default slide timing, the narration of that slide is truncated.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, click Yes when the confirmation message appears after you record a narration.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Mac.
