I think I have tracked this down! (Famous last words??!!) The crash on Slide Show seems to be caused by use of Fade smoothly or Fade through black transitions between slides. Substitution of some other transitions (note - a random small selection, not extensive testing of all transitions) to replace the Fade/Fade Down transitions made the presentation stable. Could some others please test if the Fade transitions cause such instability. I have a small presentation of eleven sides (700KB) which I was preparing for a project (stillborn), which I use as a test. I'll willingly share this with anyone who is interested. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
