Good Morning.

How do I use my .pptx with this? It is not showing in the directory when I "Add card-set".

I am using PP2016.

Thank you.

Actually, I changed the file type to all, selected it and nothing happened?

I do not understand how to use my presentations with this software? Is there a YouTube channel with tutorials, please? And I did not find any written documentation in the help link.

Hello Nicole,

pptx is not supported, only ppt format. You could just drag a ppt file into OpenCards. Slide headers become questions, and the content the respective answer.

Best,
Holger

Alright - I figured out that the files need to be saved as an older file type.

Now, I have the following questions, please:

1. What slide sizes can be used?

2. What is the standard size?

I have slides with a custom sizes of 11" x 6", and 22" x 6", needed for printing.

3. Which format is best to save in? PP 97-2003?

Thank you.

And how do I change the direction of Q & A (title > content) to A & Q (content > title), please?

does not matter. 

2.  What is the standard size?
OpenCards should accept all sizes and will rescle them to fit the opencards window.
 

I have slides with a custom sizes of 11" x 6", and 22" x 6", needed for printing.

3.  Which format is best to save in? PP 97-2003?
 Exactly.

left click on the card set in the set manager. and set it to "Use content as question"

Best,
Holger


Thank you.
