I will be giving a powerpoint Presentation in the upcoming future. I was wondering if i can use my PPC-6700 to change slides? What useful features can i use my PPC-6700 for other then viewing powerpoint slides? I would like to use it to its full potential

Thanks
Joseph

I played with it once and it seemed pretty basic - designed for viewing and displaying slides and slideshows.

What do you mean by "change slides"? Edit them? DIsplay the next in a slidehow on the 6700? PC? Remote control?

Yeah like a remote so i can point the IR at my IR on my laptop and chang eto the next slide rather then getting a remote that just does that.

I dont know im basically wondering if my PPC can do other stuff with powerpoint then just view the slide show on the device... Just seeing what power the 6700 has

Thanks

Unfortunately, the IR port on the 6700 is pretty weak and doesn't work well from a distance. There's a great program called NoviiRemote http://www.novii.tv/ that will let you control all sorts of devices, but because of the weak IR Port I couldn't change the channel on the TV without being in direct line of sight and less than 5 feet away. Even then it only worked half the time.

The IR port on the 6700 is really only designed for beaming data between 2 devices that are sitting right next to each other.

r u talking about something similar to that Motorola Q commercial? The one where the guy walks into the meeting, turns on his Q and the slides are beamed to the projector which is then shown on the screen? U trying to do something like that?

well that would be cool, what about bluetooth? could you do some control through that connection?
