Adding blank lines in the Notes Tab

[CharlesCallis]

I recently upgraded to Presenter 10.

There is a huge difference in the formatting in the Notes Tab.

I really like the way Presenter 7.0 did it. Can I get this back? Or do I need to go back to Presenter 7.0?

The indentation of the paragraph is a "nice to have"

The blank lines are a "must have"

Thx!

Have you tried publishing as both a PPT and PPTX to see if that makes a difference?

[CharlesCallis]

I am not sure what you mean. If I do "SAVE AS" (in PowerPoint 2010) and save the file as a .ppt (instead of a .pptx), and then re-publish, I run into new problems. It does not appear to be creating all the files for me (It does not publish correctly).

When I was using Presenter 7.0 I was using PowerPoint 2010 (.pptx), and I am still using 2010 (.pptx) with Presenter 10 as well.

Anyway - this does not appear to be a good solution. Any other ideas?

Thx (I find it hard to believe that everybody is OK with the way the notes are formatted.)

Odd, it shouldn't create a publishing issue to revert back to the old PPT format. Yes, I meant to do a save as and select the PPT format.

Presenter handles the PPT content differently than PPTX so I was hoping that could help in identifying what is causing this. I suspect that this is not being seen by everyone, thus why we haven't seen more complaints about it. I'll try to find some time to test and see if I can identify the issue and a solution. If anyone else has seen the issue, and has a solution, I'm sure they will chime in when they see your post.

[CharlesCallis]

Well that would be a good start, if someone could verify that what I am seeing in Presenter 10 output is an anomaly.

I am trying to confirm two things.

1) (most important) That a blank line in the Notes field (in PowerPoint) becomes a blank line in the published output (Notes Tab).

2) That paragraph indentation (Notes Tab) is used in Presenter 10 (as seen in the screen capture at the start of this discussion).

Thx.

Hi,

This is a bug which got introduced in Presenter 8 and is still there in Presenter 10.

We will try to fix the bug in the coming release.

Thank you, I think I will go back to Presenter 7 for now. I will keep in touch on future releases.

Hi, I have the same issue and bothers me a lot to be honest. I more or less solved it by editing the viewer.xml file and manually adding space in the notes. Not very elegant but at least the text now is more legible.

It doesn't appear that there have been any updated versions for Presenter 10. Is it safe to assume this bug is still present?

This particular bug has a huge impact for me. Other team members are not experiencing this issue and it is impacting my ability to complete projects for my clients and contribute equally to my team Is there any recommended fix or work around?

Hi Emily,

We did not had any Presenter release after ver.10

We will address your issue in the upcoming release.
