PowerPoint presentations

A PowerPoint presentation can be viewed from within the current StarBoard session.

1. Select (Open File) from the toolbar.
   The Open File dialog box is displayed.
   
   
   
   
2. Select PowerPoint files (*.ppt) from the file type selection drop-down list.
   
   
3. Select the desired file and select Open.
   The PowerPoint presentation is shown in StarBoard Software.
   By selecting (Normal-Pen), you can draw on the screen.
   

• When the Select tool is selected, you can operate PowerPoint by clicking or tapping on the slide.
  
• (Mac only) All annotations that have been written on the slide are temporarily hidden when the Select tool is selected.
  The annotations will return when one of the Pen tools or the Eraser tool is selected.
  
• Pen and Eraser tools are available and the other tools are unavailable.
• Pen tool gestures are unavailable, but Shape Recognition is available.
  
• The annotations and recognized shape objects cannot be moved / resized / rotated.
  
• Occasionally there are some problems if you use accessories during a slideshow.
  
• The first slide is shown again when you click on the slide or select "Next Page" on the Toolbar at the last slide
  (this means the slideshow will "loop"; therefore the last slide is shown if "Previous Page" is selected at the first slide).
  
• It is recommended that you quit PowerPoint before using this feature in StarBoard Software.
  
• PowerPoint presentations containing macros are not supported.
  
• PowerPoint presentations containing embedded animations are not supported.
  
• Timer-driven page transitions are not supported.
  
• StarBoard shows PowerPoint presentations in full-screen mode only.
