PowerPoint becomes slow and cumbersome

  • Updated

Issue

With larger PowerPoint files, the response time slows down when scrolling,as if the Acrolinx add-inn is constantly performing checks. When the user clicks on an Acrolinx suggestion, the cursor does not jump to the corresponding page in the PowerPoint slide. When users accept a suggestion for improvements, they receive this message box.

 

Microsoft PowerPoint

PowerPoint is running into problems with acrolinxpowerpointplugin.pptplugin add-inn. If this keeps happening, disable this add-in and check for available updates.

Solution

  1. If switched on: Turn off the AutoCheck feature in the coreserver.propterties file. For details see: Configure the AutoCheck Feature. AutoCheck is disabled by default, but when you enable it, writers see an extra AutoCheck option in the Sidebar.

  2. If there is no improvement, check the automatic saving within PowerPoint. Either switch it off completely or extend the intervals under File > Options > Save > Auto Recover.
