Wednesday 22nd February 2012 – GRRRRR!

This presentation is getting on my wick.

Having been at it all day yesterday and all day today, I am much nearer my goal but it hasn’t half been a struggle.

The issue is that PowerPoint seems to grind out at 1mb of space and everything after that is lost. That means that only 37 of the slides are being displayed, instead of the … gulp … 123

The answer is of course simple. To prepare four different presentations of about 30 slides each and that should keep it under the limit.

Simple, you might think, except that OpenOffice doesn’t seem to offer the possibility to delete multiple selections of slides. It seems to be just one at a time, and it has ben taking me forever to do that.

There must be a solution because my whole theory about computer programs is that I’m not the only one surely who wants that facility, so it must be there somewhere. It’s not the kind of simple software function that a software designer would have missed.

But I’m blowed if I can find it.

So it’s been the laborious one-by-one procedure.

All day.

And I’m fed up
