Updating time in continuous loop

We are creating a powerpoint presentation that will show on a closed
circuit tv showing information to students. The presentation will be
continuous and we would like a slide that shows the current date and
time on it. Because it's continuous, it won't update every time the
slide is shown...only when the presentation is stopped and restarted.
How can we get the slide to update every time it is shown. We can't
download any software to do this, we need to write the VBA code (if
necessary) for ourselves. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Tushar,

I have done a lot of VBA in Excel but none in PowerPoint. I'm in the
process of trying to learn PowerPoint and the whole event driven
methods. So far, I haven't had much time, but I'm not giving up. My
biggest problem is how to trigger the code when the event occurs. I
know it's a pretty easy thing to do, but because I haven't had to do
anything like that in Excel (other than clicking on buttons), I just
can't seem to get my head around it. I've also e-mailed Chirag to get
permission to use his add-in. I've explained what it's for, so
hopefully he'll allow us to use it. Apparently we can load the
software as it's a stand alone machine, but we're not allowed to
purchase anything. Thanks

OK. You may also want to check the PowerPoint Timer add-in available
from my web site.
