Powerpoint streaming

[Guest]

I hope this is the right forum for this question. I was wondering if anyone
knows if it is possible to stream live data directly into Powerpoint or if
not Powerpoint, any other MS Office application. I am investigating whether
or not it would be possible to do this with a digital pen.

Mmm, can you give us a bit more information about what kind of "live
streaming" you want?

I mean, you can include a live website with Shyam's "live web" add-in, and
there may be other ways to "stream" other live content. If by "digital pen"
you mean what I call a "John Madden pen," then sure, that can be done.

I think it really depends on what it is you have in mind, though.

Hi, thanks for getting back. Basically I am looking to update a presentation
in real time using a digital pen. I currently use a logitech i02 pen with
anoto software for handwriting recognition transmitted over bluetooth. As
another step to this, I need to update PowerPoint in real time based on the
strokes made by the pen and I'm trying to investigate the best way to do
this. All of the current development is done in Java so this is entering
quite new territory!

Gosh, Rob, I don't know. Thanks for the clarification, though. I know you
can annotate slides using a digital pen, but I don't think you can actually
update the slide with one.

I keep hoping someone will pop in with ideas...
