unchecking "show scrollbar" on powerpoint 2010

Does it definitely show the scroll bar with Office 2010? This is definitely full version Office 2010, not PowerPoint viewer?

I don't have access to it to try.

with client i mean the persons that are editing pptx for the upload on the xibo.
they are now having office 2010 slovenian, which does not have this option: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1183736/ppt_scrollbar.jpg
Also the english version of ppt inside office 2010 does'nt have it. I check it on my install.
i did create a 5 slides pptx with ppt 2010 english... when uploaded and schueduled to the xibo it plays with scrollbar, also when the pptx is opened wih ppt 2007 it shows the "show scrollbar checked"

In that case I think your only option is to have somewhere a copy of
Office 2007 or earlier to make that change before upload.

We don't have any control over what Microsoft do with their products.

i found out that the only change when making that check box checked is that it gets in the xml one more attribute:
unzipped_pptx_file\ppt\presProps.xml
<p:browse showScrollbar="0"/>

the added
showScrollbar="0"

makes the diference.

Good - I'm glad you've sorted it out.

I'm having this same issue with Powerpoint 2010. There isn't an option to disable scrollbar when setting up the slideshow.

See that this was fixable by doing this:

i found out that the only change when making that check box checked is that it gets in the xml one more attribute:
unzipped_pptx_file\ppt\presProps.xml
<p:browse showScrollbar="0"/>

the added
showScrollbar="0"

But I have no idea what that means. Where is this file? Any ideas?

If you rename the presentation to be a zip file instead, you can extract its contents and there you'll find the file.

You'll then need to rezip the file and rename back to pptx

Did anyone find a solution for this that doesn't include editing xml files?
I want to make it as easy as possible for the users to publish to the info screen.

I have come up wit a solution for this issue but its clunky. After generating a PowerPoint file in 2010 or 2013 you open it in PowerPoint 2007, un-check the box and save the file. Provide the file as a template for further PowerPoint file creation.

I tried adding the showScrollbar="0" attribute to the presProps.xml but the resulting .pptx file would throw an error when opened so I came up with the above solution that effectively does the same thing.

You can remove Scrollbars with VBA-Macros:

Sub Hide_Scrollbar()

With ActivePresentation
                 With .SlideShowSettings
                        .ShowType = ppShowTypeWindow
                        .ShowScrollbar = msoFalse
                   End With
            End With

End Sub
