Hi,

I am using powerpoint like 90 % the users which means only 1% of the
program.

I am doing a lot of presentation to customers and I wonder if there is
already somthing in Powerpoint that could help me.

Let's suppose that we have a 40 slides presentation ... and that this
presentation cannot be more aht 1H30... can we add to the presentation a
'time guide' that would say 'your late ... you are right on time'.

We could for example add a parameter on each slide and tell how minutes we
are supposed to spend on it. Then slide after slide, ... a we could get time
guide on the screen that is red if we are late or green if we are ok.

Are there any thing like this in the product ?

Thanks

Regards.

There's nothing like this built into PowerPoint, but what a neat idea for a
feature!

To some extent, the PowerPoint feature set is a democracy. Here's how you get
to the voting booth:

Contact Microsoft: Use MSWish to request features, report problems, etc.

And here are a few places that might supply something useful, if not exactly
what you're after:

There's nothing built-in within PowerPoint, but you can create it yourself.

The easiest thing to do would be to create a thick line that spans the width
of the slide and is placed on the bottom. Paste it on all slides - go to the
last slide and then go backward each slide. On each slide, reduce the length
of this line. By the time you reach the first slide, your line should be
non-existent or very small.

Thanks to all.
I will think about creating this tool... and will post you an email.
