See Subject. I've done it before with the hand held keypad, but it
doesn't work now. I'm definitely able to use the keypad, but find
nothing on it that advances the slide. I am pointing at the front of the
projector. Maybe it has something to do with the ppt setup for the
slides has single line advancement for the text? I wouldn't think that
would be though.

2. Did you try the Page Down key?

You are right. I meant to put it in the ppt group. Yes, the keyboard
arrows and it will work. I'm convinced though that the two projector and
PC are unrelated, and no way will it work with the remote. I often see
people seated near a PC, and push the keys for the presenter. At best,
there may be some hardware that helps. I don't plan to worry about it.

I assume you connct the projector to the computer with a USB cable. Have you
tried switching cables?

It's connected by some other cable. Not familiar with it. Blue with
maybe 14-20 pins. Probably something along the lines of a monitor
connection. I think I'll just stick with the "assistant" approach.

That's the video cable. To get the remote to work, hook up a USB cable
between the projector and computer as well. ;-)

(I use a projector at work as well but we rarely ever use the remote in
our meetings.)

That usb port doesn't look like the standard rectangular connector. I
may have one though for it that I use for video work. Amazing, I found
it. I'll be back later.

There are eight different USB connector shapes. You're probably more
familiar with the A-type. The projector has a B-type (kind of square with
angled corners).

I think I've found the right one, but I don't see how it advances a ppt
slide. It appears to let the remote act as a mouse. It seems to do that.
I say seems because I can move the pointer on the screen, but I could do
that without out the USB connection. However, maybe that was only at
right angles. I'll have to start again w/o the usb cable to find out.
