First verify that you have a presentation open and that you have an image selected on your current slide. If the commands still are not doing anything, chances are that the PhotoActive FX interface did not install properly onto your machine. To verify this, go to the “Tools Menu” and choose “Add-ins”. You should see PhotoActive FX listed in the “Available Add-Ins:” Window with an “X” to the left of the text. If you do not see the “X” the software did not install properly. To fix this: • Click on the Windows Start menu and go to the Programs submenu and select the PowerPlugs\PhotoActive FX folder. • Click on the “Reconfigure” shortcut. • Click on the “Remove from PowerPoint” button and wait for the Interface to be removed. • Click on the “Add to PowerPoint” button and wait until the Interface is added again. • Click on the “OK” button and go back to PowerPoint and try again.
