PowerPoint issue #1

Open pptxman opened 5 years ago

pptxman commented 5 years ago

Hi, Thank you for amazing workflow. However when I try to change layout in PowerPoint it starts slideshow whatever hotkey is choosen. As long as I use PP a lot (I am a presentation specialist) it would be great if you could help me resolving this.

Hi Damilola2, Sure, I will gladly help.

I myself use Keynote, and it works fine there.

But here i my thoughts: Powerpoint uses some hotkey to launch presentation, and this hotkey is used in the script.

The script involves several hotkeys: 1 switch language = Control + Space (tell application "System Events" to key code 49 using control down 2 paste result = Command + V (tell application "System Events" to key code 9 using command down)

What key combination do you use to switch language?

The 2 possible solutions are: 1) Remap the hotkey combination in the script 2) Remap the hotkey to "start presenation" in your powerpoint app.

How do we proceed from here?

Hi,

Thanks for help! My custom slideshow hot key was exactly ctrl+space. Changing it allows to workflow to convert wrong layout. However result is pasted without formatting and with line break. Any thoughts on it?
