AskWoody LoungerNovember 7, 2013 at 1:05 am in reply to: PowerPoint 2013 crashing during recording of audio #1421628I think you might have to try Office Diagnostic program. If I’m not wrong; the program shortcut is located in the Start menu for earlier versions (like Office 2003, 2002, XP) and for newer versions (Office 2010, 2007) it can be launched through the Options dialog.
For your version, I would ask you to click File button (top left corner), select Options. In the new dialog click Resources tab and then Diagnostic. Follow the on-screen instructions.
