I am using a powerpoint presentation to display information on a screen in
another part of the building. The presentation has been uploaded to a server
and a shortcut has been placed on my pc desktop so that I can edit it as and
when I need to. I make my changes and save the document but the changes are
not being reflected on the screen. Can anyone throw some light on how I can
get the powerpoint doc on the server to refresh itself?

Sue,

If you use a "linking" method to have a "main/driver" presentation
callup/trigger a "slave" presentation, then you can edit the slave
presentation. The next time the main/driver presentation calls up the slave
presentation, the changes will be reflected.

This powerpoint tutorial was not designed with that in mind, but it does
work

Sue,
You can also use the free ShowPoint add-on from
www.PresentationPoint.com to have your display computer refreshed
automatically.
