Renaming and hiding object in PowerPoint

Fri, 20 May 2011 11:26:59 +0000

I was working on a PowerPoint presentation that included screenshots that were using the Appear animation. I use it to only show a particular screenshot when I am actually talking about it.

However when editing the slide, the screenshots hide the slide text which makes it difficult to edit it.

And in the Animation Pane the pictures are shown as Picture1, Picture2 etc.

So I wanted two things;

Rename the object to a more meaningfull name in the Animation Pane
Hide the screenshots when I want to edit the text in the slide.

On a Citrix environment 2 different applications were required. One of the applications required java version 1.5 (and didn’t work with 1.6) and the other application needed specifically version 1.6.

Because the applications are installed on a Citrix server the users do not have write permissions to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that was another complication.

After a lot of monitoring with process monitor the general process of how a particular Java version loads in Internet Explorer became clear to me.

Java adds an addon to IE called ssv.dll, you can see this trough Tools | Manage Add-ons | Enable or Disable Add-ons:
