How Does Powerpoint handle multiple presenters
Roman B.
presentations. all in succession. Is there a way to have powerpoint setup
where all the presentations are loaded and we just prompt the next one to
start. Our problem in the past has always been where the presenters have
problems finding their file (even though there is only 15-20 to choose from,
some end up clicking on the wrong presentation or clicking into the wrong
folders, which in turns causes delays.
Anyone dealt with this and know of a better way?

You can insert each presentation into a single slide show and keep the
presenter's native designs. How you do it is a little different depending on
the version of PowerPoint you are using.
2003: Insert > Slides from File. Browse to desired presentation. Double
click on file. When the Slide Finder dialog box appear, check the Keep Source
Formatting box and Insert All. Repeat this for each presenters presenters
files.
In 2007 go to the Home Tab > New Slide > Reuse Slides. In the Reuse slide
task pane at the right, check the Keep Source Formatting box then select each
slide to add it to the Main presentation.
Hope that helps.

If you have a folder with nothing in it but shortcuts to each presenter's PPT
file, they don't have to do a lot of fumbling around. If they can't locate and
doubleclick their own name, maybe they're better off NOT in the presenter
business. <g>
Or you can create a presentation with just one slide. On the slide you have
the names of the presenters. Each name is a link to the presenter's file.
They click that, it launches the presentation; when they quit their
presentation, they're returned back to the main menu screen.
