Known Issues :-
1. All fonts used in a PowerPoint presentation must be
installed on the computer performing the PowerPoint to Flash
conversion otherwise in the converted slide, text might be displaced. In case
the font being used is not found on the system then the default font is used
for rendering the text.
2. Text with Special characters might not display accurately.
The output will be dependent on the Unicode output of the special characters.
3. Bullets . All bullets may not properly convert to Flash.
Bullets having an ASCII code lower than 255 work fine others may or may not
work correctly. Picture bullets are not supported. The bullets might be
slightly displaced vertically.
4. Underline is not supported in this release. Underlined text
appears without the underline.
5. When creating PowerPoint presentations for converting into Flash, all
text frames and graphical objects must be within the slide
area . Otherwise in the converted slide, text and objects might
not be in the right place, which can cause Flash to freeze and stop working.
6. All graphics inserted into a presentation must have smaller
dimensions and sizes than the slide size (Do not resize (especially stretch) as
that may spoil the image quality).
7. ActiveX objects may present problems and compatibility
issues with some PPT2Flash conversion tools.
8. Multiple masters may sometimes give the problem with
background color.
9. Animated Gifs are not supported if they are inserted using
New Photo Album feature of PowerPoint or inserted on master slide. They will be converted as normal images.
10. Conversion time will increase with the use of hyperlinks, superscript and subscript in text.(Hyperlinks are not supported in office 2007 version)
11. We do not support all the animations provided by PowerPoint. All the commonly used animations are converted properly
12. Only default animation effect options work. At present we
do not provide the advanced animation effect options that are present within
the PowerPoint. E.g. Only All at once animation for text is supported. (Line wise animation of text).
13. Motion path is supported only for straight path animations. (If original path is altered, output position may vary slightly.)
14. Bounce and Spin or other animations are not working properly for the effect speed fast and very fast because to calculate the effect frame the frame number is very small so they appear wrong on the stage.
15. Animations on master slides applied at body or title level in slides are supported for Office 2007 only.
16. Callouts may be displaced in some cases.
17. Read only, Password protected, Presentation Marked for Revision (Reply with changes) may not be converted.
18. Multiple font size in a single line will be aligned from top.

Best Practices (Tips and Tricks):
1. The SDK has been optimized for use with Office XP and Office 2003, so we recommend these versions for better output.
2. For better placement of text avoid use of large variations in font size of text in a single line. The use of single or multiple characters with large font size the rest of the text may be vertically raised higher.
3. The use of spaces in place of tabs will lead to faster
conversion.
4. Use auto fit option or manually create text boxes to fit text by dragging.
5. Use Format - Bullets and Numbering. Option instead of selecting bullets from the toolbar.
6. Avoid rotation in case of auto shapes and word art.
7. Use ungrouped text for better quality outputs.
8. Resize Images outside PowerPoint before using in slides to get better
quality of Images in output.
9. For best results, avoid use of multiple animation sounds within single text object.
