- Here I am using a screen shot captured on Microsoft Powerpoint 2007. It might look a little different on Powerpoint 2003 but the concept is the same.
- After you have programmed the ppt file, go "Slideshow" -> "Setup slide show" and make sure the "Browsed at a kiosk (full screen)" is checked.
- Also check the "use timing, if present" as well.
- Now go to the "Animation" tab and program your slide show as usual.
- Next, go to the "Design" tab and change the "Slide sized for" to the correct aspect ratio. Meaning if the zone on your template is programmed in the 16:9 aspect ratio then change this section to "16:9".
- If you need to embed external movie files, then read on, otherwise you can save the file and upload it to the multimedia section of WCM3.0 but make sure the .ppt/pptx/pps extension still stays on after the upload.
- For Powerpoint file with embedded object, please use only WMV or MPG-1 video file as other formats are not fully supported by the Microsoft Powerpoint viewer (as installed on the WebDT Player). Currently macros, programs, opening linked, other embedded video objects (other than WMV and MPG-1) as well as .eps, .pct, .emz, .cdr, .cgm, .wpg, .wmz are NOT supported. The example screenshot below shows an embedded "wmv" file.
- If you have embedded any objects into the ppt file proceed to "zip" up (.zip format) the multiple files from one folder into a single .zip file.
- Logon to WCM and proceed to upload the zip file under the "Multimedia" section.
- Click on the pptx or ppt entry file (See picture as indicated with a yellow bar below).
- You can now process the powerpoint file via WCM3.0
