Hello,
I've stumbled upon an interesting problem in Powerpoint 2013. I am running the 32 bit version on a Windows 8 VM. Whenever I type into a textbox in a powerpoint presentation, the software lags significantly. If I'm typing on a slide that only has text, Powerpoint will use ~70% of my CPU power while typing onto a slide, but does not lag at all. If the slide has images, that percentage will spike up to 100% and lag severely. It makes interacting with the program extremely annoying. I see the same behavior in safe mode, and when disabling hardware acceleration. Does anyone know anyway to fix this? |

Are there any other tricks that could maybe help? I know some programs (like Origin for plotting) have a "speed-mode" where the images are kept in memory at a lower-res and only rendered when needed. Does ppt have anything like this? |

I have exactly the same problem with text boxes in Powerpoint on a computer I have used for loads of Powerpoint presentations for the last 3 years so must be an MS Update issue.
I restarted my computer but the same thing still happens, the CPU ramps up to 50% if I even type one letter in a text box. It was on an existing presentation so I tried making a new text box in the presentation but the same thing happened. I started a new presentation and that works OK. I do a lot of work in Powerpoint and have a lot of existing presentations that I update frequently so I don't want to scrap all of that and redo everything. |
