Morph Function won't work after saving Powerpoint and Re-Opening

Question

Hello,

I'm not sure why this is but I have Office 365 pro and used the morph function to fulfill a slide transition that i needed. When I saved the presentation and re-opened it a moment later on the same computer, the function wouldn't work. How do I keep the function from bugging out like this? I need this presentation to be usable by a wide range of people who all should have 365 pro. I've tried re-saving the presentation but it didn't work.

Please help!

Answer 1

Just checking - you did save in pptx format (not ppt)?

Answer 2

Saving as a ppt will definitely KILL Morph transitions - save as a pptx

You should duplicate a slide and then adjust position etc and then add a Morph transition

Answer 3

The presentation is around 147 slides, does the file size have anything to do with how the morph function operates? Right now the presentation works when I first use the function, then does not after saving and re-opening the presentation.

Answer 4

There isn't an error message but it eliminates the morph function. The problem I am having is that I don't understand how morph recognizes the image from the previous slide. If I knew that information I might be able to deduce a solution. I tried changing the alt text but that didn't work. Also, not all of the images didn't work, there were a few that did which further confused me as to what the problem was. Saving as a ppt doesn't solve the issue either, could it be that the powerpoint is too large?

Hi Kevin,

To further look into the issue, I’d like to confirm the following information.

1. Does the issue happen to other transitions instead of morph transition?
2. The file size of the presentation. 
3. Do all files have the same issue or just this specific one. Please create a new presentation and use Morph to check the outcome
4. A screenshot of the Office version you are using.  To get it, click File > Account > under Product Information.
5. Which subscription are you using? e.g. Office 365 Enterprise E3 plan.

In addition, if possible, could you provide us with the problematic file for us to troubleshoot it? To protect your privacy, I have sent you a private message to collect it. You can check the PM via the link below:
