[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]
Hello,
PowerPoint does not have the ability to display a counter, dynamically
updating date and/or time during slide show. Although there are various
add-in's and workarounds available
(http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00081.htm), many of them will not work
if you are using the PowerPoint Viewer to display your slide show.
If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint provide an out-of-the-box capability for easily displaying a
counter, current (dynamically updating) time and/or date in various formats
(including such things as a countdown/up timer, analog clock, odometer,
etc.) during slide show (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins, so
that the solution will also work in the Viewer), please send your feedback
(in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
