Displaying PowerPoint Slides
Follow the steps below to display PowerPoint slides using LitePort (these
instructions apply to PowerPoint 2007 in Windows; for other presentation programs
refer to the program's instructions or help file for the steps needed to save a
presentation as separate JPEG files):
1 Connect the USB flash drive to your computer.
2 Open your PowerPoint document.
3 This step is optional but improves image quality: Click the Design tab near the
top of the PowerPoint document window, then click Page Setup. Click the
Slides sized for drop-down menu and select Custom. Change both Width and
Height to double their previous values, then click OK.
4 Click the Office button in the upper left corner of the PowerPoint document
window.
5 Point to Save As, then click Other Formats.
6 In the Save As dialog box, click the Save as type drop-down menu. Scroll
through the menu and select JPEG File Interchange Format.
7 Make sure the contents of your USB flash drive are visible in the Save As
dialog box before you continue - to view your USB flash drive in the Save As
dialog box, first click My Computer, then double-click the USB flash drive's
icon (make sure you do both of these in the Save As dialog box, not on your
computer's desktop).
8 Click Save. PowerPoint will ask if you want to export every slide or only the
current slide; click Every Slide. PowerPoint will save each slide in your
presentation as a separate JPEG file. These files are saved in a new folder that
has the same name as the original document.
9 Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into the
projector's LitePort connector.
10 On the projector, navigate to the folder created in step 8 and then start the slide
show (for instructions on navigating and controlling the slide show, see the
Controlling LitePort section above).
NOTE: PowerPoint embedded videos, transition effects, and animations are not
included when saving as JPEG. However, you can select a LitePort slideshow
transition effect by changing the Effect in the LitePort menu.
