I have just installed a copy of Office 2010 w/Powerpoint. I have a problem inserting videos however. I receive an error message that says, "Check to see that you have the proper codecs installed for this type of file" or words to that effect. I can insert *avis OK, but not *.mpegs . This is a bit of a puzzle, as in Powerpoint 2007 this was never an issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Peter B

Still wondering if the PPT team has an answer for why the pen doesn't stick around. Usually Microsoft doesn't remove a feature without good reason. What's the reason, and what's the fix?

PP2010 switches back from pen to arrow mode in presentation!!! PPT 07 would remain in "pen mode." PPT 2010 automatically reverts back to "mouse/arrow mode." Forcing 2 more clicks to get the pen back. Please brung a bug fix or a workarrount asap.

I also need to know how to keep in pen mode during presentations. I also present with the pen and donot want to hit Ctl P for every single slide.

I wholeheartedly echo Samandjt's comment about the cursor automatically reverting back to arrow mode on a slide change. Any new information?

rhand, You can easily change the background using one of two methods: 1. Right click a slide, click "Format Background..." where you can choose a new background and then click "Apply to all" which will change the background of every slide. 2. Go to the View tab and click "Slide Master." There, you can change the backround of the individual layouts, or of the overall slide master which is located at the top of the thumbnail pane in this view. Once you make your change and close slide master view, you will notice that your background has changed on all the slides. This article has a video that contains some information about how to use slide masters: office.microsoft.com/.../understand-the-difference-between-powerpoint-templates-and-themes-HA010357528.aspx -Chris

I have prepared a power point using backgrounds from another source. I need to change the background, however I really don't want to retype all the slides. Is there a way to either copy the text from all the slides at once and replace them on new slides or is there another way?
