Information

The following features are introduced by PowerKiosk in PowerPoint 97 environment.

Feature 1: View the slide show on a monitor while you continue working on something else on another monitor

You can setup a slide show to show on a secondary monitor if you have multiple monitor support. By design of PowerPoint, when you try to do anything else on any other monitor, the slide show would freeze. PowerShow works around this limitation to enable you to continue working on a monitor while the slide show runs on other one.

Feature 2: View different presentations on different monitors simultaneously

PowerKiosk introduces multi-monitor support to Microsoft PowerPoint 97. PowerKiosk enables you to start slide shows on different monitors. By the design of PowerPoint, only one show can be active at any time. PowerKiosk works around this limitation to enable you to view all the shows simultaneously. All shows started by PowerKiosk remain active at all times.

Feature 3: View shows in Wide Format - shows can span across multiple monitors all the way up to all available monitors

Normally slide shows are configured for a 4:3 (Width:Height) ratio since normal monitors have that ratio. For a slide show to span multiple monitors, the show should have those dimensions. A show in Wide Format would have 8:3, 4:1, 16:3 kind of Width:Height ratios. To create such presentations in PowerPoint, set the slide size appropriately as follows:

Select File | Page Setup... menu item to launch the Page Setup dialog box.

Select the Slides sized for on screen show.

The Width to Height ratio should be 8:3 for shows to span 2 monitors. So, if the Height is set to 7.5 Inches, then the Width should be set to 20 Inches.

Click OK.

Feature 4: View shows on multiple panels - shows can span across multiple monitors in box layout

Multi-panel systems are usually arranged in matrix layouts to collectively form a big screen. PowerKiosk supports such configurations to enable you to span a PowerPoint slide show across the width and height of the layout.

Feature 5: Edit the presentation while the slide show is running

The PowerKiosk enables you to edit the presentation slides when the slide show is running. Edit the file on one monitor while the slide show is running on another.

Feature 6: The supported number of shows and the number of monitors is only limited by the system resources

PowerKiosk supports all the monitors that are connected to the system. The default PowerKiosk Session Settings dialog box enables you to configure 7 items in the session. It also provides the Add More Rows button that enables you to add additional items if needed.
