PPT97: Typing Is Slow When Recording a Macro (163114)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q163114 SYMPTOMS
The characters take a long time to appear on-screen while you are typing in
Microsoft PowerPoint 97.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you are typing while you are recording a macro.
When you record a macro, PowerPoint generates Visual Basic for Applications
commands for each keystroke you make. This overhead causes a delay and your
keystrokes are not sent to the display as fast as normal.
RESOLUTION
To restore normal typing speed, stop recording the macro. To do this, point
to Macros on the Tools menu, and click Stop Recording.
