inking in presenter view PPT 2007

[Trey Selman]

Does anyone with PPT 2007 know if inking (from a tablet PC) on the presenter
view work to show on the slideshow.

I thought I read somewhere that you could do this in PPT 2007 now.

Thanks

Hi,

Dont have 2007 with me here. But in Slideshow mode, hit <F1> and it should
give you the commands. Like <Control + p> for pen.

Please tell us your PowerPoint / Windows version,
whether you are using vba, whether
your cows are in the corn paddock, or
anything else relevant.

Thanks Glen
I should have been a little more descriptive in my question.

In a dual monitor setup using presenter view is it possible to ink on the
presenter view and have it show on the slideshow.
In 2003 this is not possible and limits the use of inking with a tablet pc.

The only way to ink on the slideshow is to run the show in Clone mode. The
loss there is that you cannot have your notes show with the slides as the
show progresses (as it does by using presenter view)

ANSWER: I went ahead and found my own answer by downloading the trial
version of 2007.

You can ink in the presenter view and the inking will show on the slide.

You need to make sure that in the slide transitions the check box for "on
Mouse Click" is turned off [the default is turned on]
If it is on then when ever you start to ink on the slide (in the presenter
view window) the slide will transition.

There may be a problem if there are animations (within the slide) set to
fire on click since the same issue may result.
haven't tested that far yet


Thank you for your help
