The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you run a slide show that contains transitions and builds, the transitions and builds may not occur or may occur inconsistently.

= CAUSE =

This problem is usually due to a low memory situation.

= RESOLUTION =

Allocate more memory to PowerPoint. The following steps illustrate how to do this:


 * 1) Open the Microsoft PowerPoint folder.
 * 2) Click once on the Microsoft PowerPoint icon to select it.
 * 3) On the File menu, click Get Info.
 * 4) Add 1024K to the value in the Preferred Size text box by highlighting the Preferred Size text area and typing in the new value.
 * 5) Click the Close box in the upper-left corner of the Get Info window.
 * 6) Start PowerPoint and display the slide show that contains the transitions and builds.

The transitions and builds should now display as expected.
