Non- interactive kiosk display?

[Guest]

I am thinking about getting power point for our office.
I want to use it for a non-interactive kiosk display.
I would like to use it to display real estate listings. Photos, price, brief
descriptions running in a loop.
My question is is there a way to create a form for data entry to streamline
the process of entering in the new listings.
I want to make it as quick and user friendly as possible. I would be
interested in third party apps. or custom programing.
Any suggestion or ideas would be great.

You can design multiple masters with the specific layours for your various
needs (listings, etc.), then run a continuous loop on your monitor...

I don't think that this is what the original poster had in mind. I think
there are products like Datapoint or the PPT Merge add-in that would be
good solutions, but I haven't used either so I'll let those who have
chime in.

As David mentions, you'd need a third party app or addin to automate this.

DataPoint is a good one, but I'm partial to PPT Merge ... the fact that I wrote
it may have a bit to do with that <g>.

http://merge.pptools.com has more info and a free fully functional demo to try
out.
