I want to set up a countdown timer in a powerpoint presentation to show the
days, hours and mins to a specifi date and time eg run the presentation now
with a countdown for Christmas day. I want to be able to stop and start the
presentation at any time but the countdown timer to be able to locate the
current date and time and commecnce the countdown from there. Can this be
done?
