| Google Drive - Powerpoint | Stratco | 5/15/12 9:56 AM | We use google docs/drive for everything in our company. But the google powerpoint will not work at all. It completely freezes up and locks everything up. Noone is able to access the program to edit the presentations. Help! |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Adah | 5/17/12 2:17 PM | Hi there - Is this specific to a certain presentation, or to any presentations you try to open? Are you receiving an error message? What browser and operating system are you using? Adah |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | mfwillis | 5/25/12 9:48 AM | I am having the same problem. I developed a template for my students. When they upload it, they can't edit it.They also can't make a copy of it. What gives? You guys are getting too slick for your own good. STOP RE-DEVELOPING APPS THAT ALREADY WORK! |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | marien | 6/6/12 10:33 AM | I am also having the same problem. I'm using Firefox 12.0 and it's when I try to make a presentation for powerpoint that I have issues. All other google doc programs are working, just not the powerpoint presentation. Any presentation that I try to cr |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | marien | 6/6/12 10:35 AM | I just updated to Firefox 13.0 and I'm still having the same issue. Window freezes and I can't click on anything, just have to close the tab. |

You can share the doc straight fro |

| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | JaeTee | 6/22/12 6:10 AM | I have been having the problem of freezing and being unable to edit off and on with various presentations, so much so that I am questioning whether to teach students the basics of Google presentations. Right now I am on Firefox 12.0. I generally u |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Adah | 6/25/12 6:35 AM | Hi JaeTee - You're likely hitting this issue because you're using the old version of our presentation editor. Earlier this year, we launched a new editor that is much improved and that is now the default presentation editing experience. Check out mor |

| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Adah | 6/25/12 10:52 AM | Hi DTS9999 - Thank you for sharing these. The reason they launch as PowerPoint shows on your desktop is because they are saved in the view-only .pps (PowerPoint show) format rather than .ppt (editable PowerPoint presentation) format. Do you happen to |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | DTS9999 | 6/25/12 12:00 PM | Right now, the .pps, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptx files all open the same way. I would have liked that .pps or .ppsx open up into a slide show right off rather than having the person figure out how to start a slide show. Here are the original PowerPoint edi |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Adah | 6/26/12 7:40 AM | Hi there DTS9999 - I'm glad you shared these .ppt and .pptx versions -- it looks like these convert to Google presentations much better. If you follow these steps, I think you'll get the result you're looking for: - Open the .pptx presentation. - C |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Emily Moore | 9/28/12 12:27 AM | Google drive's powerpoints are TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! All of them don't work, no matter how many times I refresh or reload or start a new one.

| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | haime | 11/26/12 2:54 PM | Hi Adah, Thanks for helping us out. In my case, there are some pptx that don't have the "export to google doc" option, nor where you open the presentation and click on File. It's weird because other pptx can be open without problem, even convert int |
| Re: Google Drive - Powerpoint | Adah | 12/3/12 10:10 AM | Hi haime - Can you share a sample document with docs-debug[at]google[dot]com and let us know the URL here? I can have someone on our team take a closer look. Are you the owner of this presentation, or do you have access as a collaborator? Thanks, Ad |
