Hi

Would anyone be able to tell me how I can show a real-time clock (in the
format HH:MM) in Powerpoint 2002? This needs to be a 'live' clock (e.g.
update itself every minute) and show the current time throughout the
presentation.

I do have a small executable clock which will do the trick, but I can't get
Powerpoint to (a) run it without asking for confirmation that it's not a
virus - for our requirements, it needs to be launched without any user
intervention - and (b) close the executable when finished with or when the
presentation is exited (I have to do it manually).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I know it's not quite what you're after, but I often run quiz presentations
in PPT with a copy of novaclock in the corner, in transparent mode so it's
barely visible. It's not a PPT add-in but it's so handy I often keep it on
my desktop when I'm working...and it's freeware!

Worth a download anyway!
