ods powerpoint - transition and effect_option

[xxformat_com]

Hi,

The following documentation is quite useful

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=odsug&docsetTarget=p0ubuuul23fuotn1lsw2gg0e7vyy.htm&docsetVe...

Point 1

Value for "Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 Support" is missing

•  fade

Point 2

I had to write 'none' when no effect option was available instead blank or just removing the parameter.

Point 3

Default effect is missing

• ferris_wheel
• cut : I guess it is through_black as no other effect_option is listed

Point 4

I didn't get them work

• checkerboard, from_right
• shred, particle_in
• shred, particle_out
• wipe, from_botttom_right
• dissolve, none
• flash, none
• honeycomb, none
• random, none

I'm working with SAS

9.04.01M5P091317

Hi:
You indicated what version of SAS you're running, but not what version of PPT. What is your PowerPoint level. If your version of PowerPoint is 2013 or higher and your version of SAS is 9.4M5 and you can't make the transitions work, as documented, then Tech Support needs to look at ALL your code to determine if you've run into a bug or not.

My advice is that you open a track with Tech Support on this.

I'm using the last version provided in Microsoft Office 365.

And you've been doing all the updates? Otherwise you may still be on an older version...

[Reeza]

And if you provide code, others can either verify your issue or let you know if it's something on your system or specifications.

Hi:
If things don't work as advertised in the doc and you are using the newest versions of SAS and PPT, then I really recommend that you work with Tech Support on this.

I've just tried with SAS University Edition and get the same issue as with my own installation.

[Reeza]

Code?

Here is an example which leads to the following message:

 WARNING: Unrecognized effect option "particle_in" ignored.

%let xxroot=C:/Users/...;

ods _all_ close;
ods powerpoint file="&xxroot./test.pptx";

ods powerpoint options(backgroundimage="&xxroot./test.png");

ods powerpoint options(backgroundimage="&xxroot./test.png"
                       transition='shred'
                       effect_option='particle_in')
               startpage=now;

    
ods powerpoint close;

Hi:
Where's the rest of your code? Can you show ALL your code, not just the ODS statements?

I don't see the point of your question. The program shows you exactly an example where it doesn't work.

[Reeza]

Your code does not work - I think because you don't have multiple slides so you don't have a transition.

This works fine for me with the specified transitions you've shown. 

I'm on 9.4 M5 using Office 2016. 

This code is from the SAS documentation.

/*                       effect_option='particle_in')*/
/*               startpage=now;*/
/**/

/*			   run;*/
/*    */
/*ods powerpoint close;*/

Well in my code you have two slides and therefore a transition. If I put another effet, it works fine.

I've tried your code and get the same problem

I would contact SAS Tech support then regarding the error. FYI - if I run your code as is, it runs and I get a slide but no transition or effects.

However, if I do the same in PowerPoint, create a single slide with a transition/effect and no other slides I also don't get any effects either, even though they're selected. Only when I have two slides included do I get the transition/effect.

Hi, I'm not sure why you're telling me that I'm only creating one slide. If you check the code, you'll see that I create two slides.
