Q. Why does PowerPointPipe occasionally appear to hang?
A. This occurs when Microsoft PowerPoint is trying to display a dialog box, such as for a missing linked document (note: PowerPointPipe does NOT pause for missing passwords. If you have not specified the correct password, these files are logged for manual handling). Simply press [Alt+Tab] to get to Microsoft PowerPoint, then clear the dialog box. Once this is done, PowerPointPipe will resume at normal speed.
