SYMPTOMS
You cannot upload a Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentation slide in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 or in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2003.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the PowerPoint presentation slide contains complex graphic objects.



RESOLUTION
If you receive an error message before the upload progress bar has passed the halfway mark, there may be an object or a graphic in one of the presentation slides that will not convert to a Live Meeting slide. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:  Try to use a later version of PowerPoint to create presentations or to modify presentations. If you are using an earlier version of PowerPoint, we suggest that you try to use Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 or a later version of PowerPoint. Later versions of PowerPoint are much better at converting large images and complex images. If you do not have access to a later version PowerPoint, or if the latest PowerPoint version does not resolve the issue, try to manually convert the PowerPoint presentation to a Live Meeting 2003 (.pwp) file or to a Live Meeting 2005 (.lmp) file. To do this, install one of the following Live Meeting Add-ins for Microsoft PowerPoint based on the version of the Live Meeting Conference Center that you are using:  Live Meeting 2005 Add-in for PowerPoint Live Meeting 2003 Add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint

To download the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in for PowerPoint, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

To download the Live Meeting 2003 Add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

 By using the Live Meeting Add-in to convert the PowerPoint presentation, you may find the presentation slide that causes the issue. If you find the presentation slide that causes the issue, you can modify the presentation in PowerPoint to ungroup the complex graphic object into a Microsoft Office drawing object. To do this, follow these steps:  Start PowerPoint, and then click the slide that contains the complex graphic object.</li> Right-click the complex graphic object, point to Grouping, and then click Ungroup.</li> Click OK to confirm that you want to convert the graphic into an Office drawing object.</li></ol> </li></ol>

If you receive an error message after the upload progress bar has passed the halfway mark, try to use the Alternate Uploader add-in to upload the presentation. To use the Alternate Uploader add-in, follow these steps:
 * 1) Export the PowerPoint presentation as a .pwp file.
 * 2) Log on to your Live Meeting organizer account.
 * 3) In the Manage area, click Meetings.
 * 4) Locate the meeting to which you want to upload the presentation slides, and then click Edit.
 * 5) In the Meeting Materials area, click Import a Presentation.
