Importing PowerPoint Presentations

PicturePerfect is a handy way to keep PowerPoint presentations in your Pocket PC. It's easy to export your presentation to your device for viewing. Because PowerPoint can turn slides into JPEG files, it is easy to move them onto your device for handy viewing.

To turn your PowerPoint file into JPEG slides:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation file on your desktop PC.
2. Select File, Save As.
3. For the type of file, choose JPEG.
4. Choose the directory where your JPEG files are to be saved.
5. Click OK.

To move slides to your Pocket PC:

1. Open ActiveSync.
2. Click Explore.
3. Create a new folder for your slides.
4. Move the JPEG files to the directory you just created.

To make your PowerPoint slides into an album on your Pocket PC:

1. Open PicturePerfect.
2. Tap Album, New.
3. Enter a name for the new album.
4. Tap 'Yes' when asked if you'd like to select a folder.
5. Choose the folder where your slides are located.
6. Tap OK.
7. Select Album, Sort Album, PowerPoint Slides.

Your presentation is now ready to view as a slide show. All slides are in the proper order.

Notes: You may need to experiment with different methods of scaling your slides for maximum readability. PocketPC.com has an excellent article by Jason Dunn on importing PowerPoint slides here.
