    Dashes not showing when opening presentations from PowerPoint 2007 in PowerPoint 365


    I have a whole database of Powerpoint documents containing song lyrics that were made in Powerpoint 2007. Recently, we changed the old office computer and migrated from Windows 7 and Office 2007 to Windows 10 and Microsoft 365. When trying to open the songs from the database in Powerpoint, a lot of the dashes aren't showing. In my language, Romanian, a lot of words contain dashes. They are still there if I click where they should be and press the arrow buttons I can see the cursor moving slightly as if something was there but they aren't showing. It would be a real pain for me to go through maybe 1000 of documents and delete these invisible dashes and replace them. Is there something else I could do?



    ***Moved from: [PowerPoint / Windows 10 / Microsoft 365 Family]***

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Dashes not showing when opening presentations from PowerPoint 2007 in PowerPoint 365 :)

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    Firstly, I am not that familiar with Powerpoint.
    I have only messed it with a few times.

    Try this... Use one of these, or all of these, to open the file and see if they will run and save it:
    Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012
    Lotus Symphony 3.0.1
    LibreOffice
    Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0

    Some other info that may be of use:
    The PowerPoint FAQ - PowerPoint Help
    PowerPoint won't open my older PowerPoint presentations
    PowerPoint crashes while opening certain presentations
    If the file is password protected... Remove password from a password-protected PowerPoint file

    Goodluck

    Assigned Access of Powerpoint Presentation

    I was hoping that by downloading the PowerPoint Mobile app in windows store, that I would be able to use it to setup assigned access on a Windows 10 computer and display a powerpoint presentation. Our issues is, we need this to be a Kiosk that no-one can
    close out the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to turn most functions off, but you can still access the ease of access toolbar, and can also close the presentation out. When I go to assigned access though, Powerpoint Mobile does not appear in the list of
    Apps. I have downloaded other Supposed PowerPoint Presenters, but none of them show up in the list either.

    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this! I do not understand how to setup the Power Shell code to set this up, too technical for me. But I really need this as Kiosk computer. Any suggestion?
