While I was working on a training presentation in Powerpoint 2007, I have discovered a very strange and frustrating problem.
How to reproduce ?
-
Create a simple prensentation
-
On the first slide add an object and Insert an action
-
Choose "Execute the program" and add a simple command line with switches like for example "cmd /K dir /P"
-
Save the presentation and close it
-
Open it again
-
Select your object, and choose again "Insert action" to view the action you have added
-
You should see "cmd \K dir \P"
All the "/" are transformed in "\"
I am now searching for a fix or patch, or an explanation to this problem (maybe I should escape the "/" but how ?)
If you have any ideas or clues, leave a comment !
I was just surfing around Internet, reading a blog I have just discovered when I have found this post (in french) : http://blogs.msdn.com/nay/archive/2007/10/10/quand-excel-perd-la-boule.aspx
Excel has some calculation problems (or display ?) when dealing with the number 65 535.
Interesting to know no ? ( and to download the associated patch 
)
