Objects duplicating (PP 2003)

[steveh]

Afternoon all

For some reason when I click on any object in PP it is duplicating it, I had the same problem some years ago but have forgotten what the solution was, I have searched my posts here and can't find it so it must have been over 4 years ago. I have searched Google but that wasn't any help at all. Any ideas please?

Try the following:
Quit PowerPoint.
Open Windows Explorer.
Go to the Office folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11

or if you have 64-bit Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office11

Locate POWERPNT.EXE.
Right-click POWERPNT.EXE and select Properties from the context menu.
Activate the Compatibility tab.
Tick the check box "Disable desktop composition".
Click OK.
Now open PowerPoint and test whether it makes a difference.

Thanks Hans

That seems to have done the trick
