We use a powerpoint presentation as digital signage on a number of screens around our offices. &nbsp;I have a script that checks for an updated version of the powerpoint on the server, if there is a newer version, it copies the new version to the PC, kills ppt and then re-opens the new file as a slide show.<br />
<br />
On one screen - I have the need to display an another application in a small, horizontal window on the screen (about 1/3 of the height). &nbsp;I would like to keep this other application running and have powerpoint launch in the bottom 2/3 of the screen in a slideshow. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have tried using the &quot;Set up show&quot; option and then the &quot;Browsed by an individual (window)&quot; - this works for a single file, but the settings are lost when the updated file is replicated down to the PC.<br />
can this be done with a macro? &nbsp;3rd party? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
thanks

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.
