Hi I have a powerpoint presentation with see through (I used 99% transparent color) action butotns over the top of the butons I have designed. When I run the presentation in the Microsoftt viewer I get all theeses little dots in the area the link is the links work I think but cant fully test that till next tuesday any ideas?

Why did you use transparent action icons overtop of your other action icons? The MS view is practically worthless. Not everything appears the same with the viewer. Suggestion for the future - download and install OpenOffice.org 1.1 It's a FREE full-featured office suite with presentation software (called Impress) that will allow you to actually design and save presentations in a PowerPoint format. www.openoffice.org Hope you have a highspeed connection, it's about a 63 MB download.

I used 100% overlap beacuse when I used the no fill button it made the button inactive so decided that it wouldntw ork at 100% I 'd like to use open ofifce buut cant find a way of making objects appear in like 1.5 seconds of a page loading and there dosnt appear to be many effects which I can mamke an bject do on a timer? could you help please
