The good news is that the sound editing solution noted above
does work. I appreciate your can-do and never say never attitude
because it makes the Message Boards useful.
While your solution does work, it is still a work around to
what should be a single checkbox for the entire presentation. I
have more than several hundred slides to deal with in a project
that spans over 1,000 hours of development time and I DO appreciate
the solution / workaround. But my time will be simplified with the
proper option and this tool is supposed to be a simple way of
getting this done from PpowerPoint, so perhaps Adobe will see the
point where simplicity looks brillient and workarounds are torture.
Note that I did try Select-All and then the Insert Command,
that does not insert the command for all slides. It requires doing
this for each slide.
There are other problems that I sent to Adobe, including the
Quiz Summaries per Quiestion Group forcing the presentation to stop
dead at the Quiz summary and not continue. I sent them a slew of
small issues and I do believe that they are at least listening and
seeing what I found. If all goes well, that will mean smarter
software in the future.
The key to Presenter 7 is simplicity and locking out options
that cannot work. Adobe has a good idea here, but the last 10% may
take 50% of the effort to add the polish that locks-out impossible
scenarios (or at least warns about them) and where one click can
replace hundreds of clicks for setup. It is hard to think this way
for some programmers, but the concept is to have the software do
what the person is thinking without the workarounds, hacks or odd
settings that act as workarounds. They are quite close and
reporting the issues to Adobe gives us all a chance to make the
process smoother, faster and more enjoyable.
Thanks for your workaround, it is a "punt" strategy for me
now and I think that Adobe may find a way to do this with one
checkbox.
