Did this, created a new user, created a new PPT, drew a rectangle, tried to resize and same thing . I also posted that applying an existing .pot crashes (need force quit - not responding). Same thing

No, reinstalling on the Mac is never the appropriate direction to go. The
program files do not corrupt, so you aren't addressing the problem that way
& simply force yourself to have to go through all the updating again without
getting anything corrected The files that cause the problems don't get
replaced by reinstalling unless you do a proper "scorched earth" technique
which is reserved as a last resort :-)

First, try running the program from a different user account to see if the
problem occurs there. Also, log out then hold Shift while logging in & see
if the problem remains. Post back with complete details of each process.

Yes, updated upon install yesterday.

Repaired permissions and restarted - no change.

Templates are created in "Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2004 Template" - no change.

Should I uninstall and re-install?

Thanks - Murray

Have you updated Office 2008 since installing it? Current update level is
12.1.5, so if you aren't at that level that's teh first thing that should be
done. Run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions as well - even if you've
already updated - then restart your Mac.

FWIW, I have a number of .pptx files definitely created in the 2007 version
& have experienced no such issue.

(I again posted earlier in the General Office NG, so posting here - sorry.
Here's the thread.)

Yes, I realized this was the general group - after I hit the send button -
sorry.

Brand new - not an upgrade.

Only happening in files that were produced originally in Office 2007 (I
think)

I opened a new PPT, and dragged all the slides into that one and it worked
fine, however...

When I tried to apply a pre-existing .pot - 2008 got the spinning pizza
wheel of death. I posted this issue to the correct group - Powerpoint
help.

Thanks - Murray

Did you realize that you're posting to the General Mac Office Group?
You'll
be more likely to get responses on PPt-specific issues if you post to
that
group. Not many of the PPt folks read this board regularly.

In the meantime, make sure that both Office & OS X are fully updated &
that
