Hi, JackChill. Is this Diagnostic supposed to be in PowerPoint Option? I can’t find a Resources dialog there at all.

I have 25 as well, and when I purchased Office University I was awarded an additional 20 GB for a total of 45

Thanks! This appears to be working.

If it is important to you, you could record a macro named AutoOpen and save it to your normal template. Start recording immediately after opening a document when you change the view.

Or, you could copy this one:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
'
'   Set view to print preview

        ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
End Sub

For instructions on how to install a macro, see Installing Macros.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any control over most of the documents, as they are student papers that I am grading. From your answer, I suspect they are opening in the state as last edited by the student prior to electronic submission.

I guess I’ll just continue to change out the view. Thanks for the ideas.

OK – I’m a dork – ha ha. I was pulling two docs down from SkyDrive (although usually fairly quick, this was a bottleneck today). Once they are on the hard drive, they popped right open as I expected.

Thanks for the additional info. It sounds like the original answer was correct (due to the bug) but not the rationale.

I always like to learn what is going on behind the scenes, and I appreciate the comments. Thank you!

Thank you! That makes perfect sense. Can’t find records that aren’t yet “there”.

The fog has lifted. I appreciate the response!

All good suggestions – thanks. ALT+PRT SCRN seems to be the easiest solution.

Appreciate all the feedback!

Agreed, that will work. I was wondering if there’s a way to use the Screen Clipping tool built into PowerPoint. Seems like something MS would have allowed.

Google to the rescue! In case anyone else needs this…

Thanks, Joe!

Thanks, all. I’m now at work and jotted down the themes installed in Word 2013. I was also able to navigate to the location of the .thmx files in Office 2010 and successfully copy a theme from the 2010 folder into the 2013 folder, and that theme shows up as an option in the list.

Here are the 2013 themes as showing in my copy of Word 2013, in case anyone else is interested. (they do NOT appear in alphabetical order in my copy of Word, which is annoying).

Office (default)
Facet
Integral
Ion
Ion Boardroom
Organic
Retrospect
Slice
Wish
Banded
Basis
Celestial
Dividend
Frame
Mesh
Metropolitan
parallax
Quotable
Savon
View
Wood type

While I was able to copy an old theme, my version of Office is installed locally (not on the cloud). I’m wondering if students, who may buy 365 University, will be able to access the folder structure on the cloud-based version. Does anyone know?

I’m a teacher who uses an auto-grading package to score student work. The program is written for Office 2010. One of my online students (who lives in another state, so I can’t look at her software) is using Office 2013 and claims she doesn’t have one of the themes that is required for an assignment. The auto-grader will mark it wrong and I’m wondering if I’m going to run into this issue repeatedly until my auto-grader rolls to 2013 in the fall semester.

Every Google search for Office and theme, or Word and theme, just turns up info about the overall color scheme of Office itself (white, gray, etc.)

I haven’t yet picked up 2013 but perhaps it’s time…

I don’t have a PPt Photo Album handy to try this, but I’m wondering if there is a slide master that is created along with the album where you could change the font?

This is a very cool technique. Thanks for sharing this!

Do you know any tricks for building a monthly set, as if 01 January, 02 February, 03 March, etc.? Right now, I have a “master set” of blank folders for when I want to start a new year of photo archives and I just copy those.

These seem like such basic folder management activities that I can’t believe MS hasn’t built these in long ago.

I would just use Picasa as well, you can use as much or, as little of the management part as you wish.

Since you are using Win 7 I can make it even easier for you to try my technique. Go to or create whatever folder you are planning on placing the numbered folders in. Then in the Organize line you will see New Folder. Click on that followed by the Enter key, then New Folder again, followed by Enter and so on. You will see new folders pop up in that folder that get numbered successively with each new folder.

When you have a sufficient number of new folders created, drag and select ALL the new folders so they are all highlighted. Then right click on the first new folder and choose to Rename. Change the name of the first folder (with all the rest still highlighted) to February (16) or whatever starting date you want and press enter. The rest of the new folders will also be renamed automatically, with an increase in the number in parenthesis by one with each folder. In other words the second folder will get named February (17) and the third will be February (18) and so on; so you can use the number in parenthesis as your date.
