I was alerted today that we have a minor bug in the share you Empressr, function, while we work on fixing it here is a bit of a workaround.

-Make sure that you save and publish the presentation, it should not matter if you choose public or private

-Close the Empressr creator/editor and go to your listing of presentations

-Click on the presentation to launch it, once loaded click the share icon in the bottom bar , it’s the envelope.

That should give you all the sharing options

Thanks

Be afraid, very afraid.

Particularly if your one of those still using file sharing.

Microsoft announced that the infamous PowerPoint program (Office 2003 and earlier) has been exposed to some serious security issues.  In fact, in an alert separate from that of Microsoft, the Denmark based vulnerability research shop Secunia labeled the issue “extremely critical.”

Users who click on malicious files, website links and email attachments trigger malware files on their workstations.  So far attempts to use this have been limited yet targeted.  Further it appears those with high access levels are at the highest risk.

These types of problems are easily avoidable thanks to browser-based programs!

There are numerous online-presentation tools all of which avoid such issues. Everything being embedded on a web page means there is no need to click external links, no need to open attached files, and no need to check with IT every time you wish to launch a presentation someone sends to you.

In the meantime Microsoft plans to “monitor the situation.”
