[AG-TECH] PowerPoint and AG 2.x

[Michael Miller]

The Shared Presentation app in the Application section of the VenueClient 
is what you are looking for.  Click on the + next to Applications to see if 
a presentation app has been added to the venue. If not, right click 
Applications and choose Add Shared Presentation app.  Then right click that 
and choose Open.

One pointer, the ppt needs to reside on a web server somewhere.  Just paste 
the URL into the Shared Presentation app dialog box that comes up.  Put 1 
in the slide number box and then click enter.

Powerpoint will fire up and show you the presentation.  You need to use the 
Prev and Next buttons to do the slide changes so that everyone gets the 
changes.

hope this helps
