I know my Microsoft PowerPoint classes are in dire need of an update. The current ones are from 2003. There have been a LOT of changes in PowerPoint since then.

Show of hands... who here is still interested in learning more PowerPoint? Post a comment here.

Live Excel data in presentation Link

Greetings! We have a PowerPoint presentation that runs off a TV monitor that serves as an info "kiosk" for our warehouse personnel. I've created a nice presentation that runs on a continuous loop and I update slides frequently. Currently we embedded an excel slide that is updated when the presentation is opened and the links refreshed. There is a 3rd party software (DataPoint) that claims to show live information in real time. Is there a way to do that using VBA? Did you already cover this in a class or seminar? Please advise. Thanks! Read More...

Have you tried recording a macro and seeing what happens when you click the refresh data?

PowerPoint is I think taken for granted until someone has a presentation to complete by a certain deadline. I think PowerPoint is probably the most underutilized application of the Microsoft Office family. I think that with the advent of the team leadership concept, PowerPoint will experience a renaissance of use, as Excel, for the most part, has become commotized as far as one being able to obtain free training online (from a number of sources). In my opinion, Access MVPs can still make money teaching Access online. In the final analysis, PowerPoint experts can make the most impact, as it is a very visible tool that if done right can affect multitudes of people.

If you read most of the recent literature regarding effective presentations, clipart is considered to be somewhat dated, and photographs are currently the flavor of the month.

I have a Powerpoint slide that I have placed a short video clip on. I have set all the Transitions, timings, size etc etc to my liking. All fine so far.
Now I have another 499 similar short video clips that I want to place on individual slides, however I don't want to have to set up all the attributes over and over again for every single slide. Read More...
