Newbie question...

[Mike]

Is it possible to embed a ~real-time~ clock into the background
of a PP presentation and if so would it be possible to use either
the computer's clock or link to an atomic on the net?

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards,
Mike.

Thanks for that; got one link from it, although not quite what
I'm after. I'll keep looking.

Try this one, but I don't think it is free:

Looked at that, but there don't seem to be any examples and the
"time" trial expiry is 30th June '04.

Ironic eh? lol.

I think the person who runs that site pokes his newsreader here
occasionally, so if he doesn't answer soon, you might ask again in a few
days.
