Blackboard Users,
If you use the Internet Explorer 7.0 browser, you may notice problems displaying Powerpoint files. In this case they appear as one blank slide or as nothing but a line. Blackboard is trying to work with Microsoft to create a patch for this issue.
Until then, there are a few workarounds for you and your students.
- If you or your students want to use a different browser, this issue does not exist in Firefox or Netscape.
- If you right-click the link and save the file to your computer, you will be able to open it that way
- If you want to convert your Powerpoint presentations to PDF format before you post it, you can download a free PDF converter at http://www.primopdf.com/.
If you have any problems, please create a ticket using our ticketing system, or call the Help Desk at x8-3949.
As always, we’ll keep you informed as we get more information.
