Then it would run the PowerPointViewer.exe file on the disc and the user could install it on their first use.Īs much as writing "DO NOT RUN IN POWERPOINT 2007" in pen on the disc currently helps, I fear that as new hosts come on board they will not be able to easily install PowerPoint 2010 Viewer - or might even just make the wrong Autorun choice and open it inĢ007 anyway (since there are those who, despite everything, still won't be able to tell the difference). Ideally, I would like to be in a situation where a host can pop in a disc, and it will automatically run the file either in PowerPoint 2010 (if installed) or PowerPoint 2010 Viewer (again, if installed) in full screen ready to go. Until now, we haven't had a problem instructing our hosts to manually run the presentations using a pre-installed PowerPoint viewer - but as weĬontinue to bring on board new staff, I'm finding that many hosts are accidentally running their presentations in PowerPoint 2007 rather than the built in PowerPoint viewer. Each of these files are generally 300-400mb, and are absolutely not compatible with PowerPoint 2007.īecause of our choice to use PowerPoint 2010, we're unable to produce all-in-one CD's that automatically play. Each week, a host receives a CD, USB or download of the latest triviaįile to run at their designated venues. Amongst other things, I run a multimedia trivia company, and our platform of choice is PowerPoint 2010 due to its advanced audio and video editing abilities and its embedded nature.
