First, the application choked when she tried to publish directly to our Adobe Connect Server. Then, Microsoft disabled the plug-in so, no matter how many times she tried to reinstall Presenter, it would not show up as available in PowerPoint.</p> <p>The following outlines solutions for both problems.</p> <h2>Presenter Chokes When Publishing Directly to Adobe Connect Server</h2> <p>If the total amount of files related to the PowerPoint file are over 100 MB, the application can get hung up when publishing directly to the LMS. One workaround is to publish to the local drive to a zipped file and upload the zipped file to the LMS. This works very well and actually seems to be faster than publishing directly to the LMS.</p> <h2>Microsoft Disables the Presenter Plug-in</h2> <ol> <li>Click on the Microsoft Office Button at the top left of the PowerPoint window.</li> <li>Click on the button called <em>PowerPoint Options</em> located at the bottom of the menu.</li> <li>Click on <em>Add-Ins</em>.</li> <li>At the bottom of the window is a <em>Manage:</em> dropdown menu. Select <em>Disabled Items</em> and click the <em>Go...</em> button.</li> <li>Another window with the list of disabled items will pop up. Choose the disabled item and click the <em>Enable</em> button.</li> </ol> Adobe Products Technical Issues Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:32:00 -0500 http://iit.bloomu.edu/pam/blog/index.cfm/2008/8/7/Adobe-Presenter-Pro-PowerPoint-Plugin-Issues
