WM5: Power Point

I was curious to know how the power point on WM5 compares to conduits pocket slides. Can it open .ppt files or does it have to convert ppt files to some other format for it to work on a pocket pc? how are the features/options?

It is pretty much play slideshow only. No editing and no converting.

yes, although even clearvue seems to be better. It is good for nothing more than showing a presentation.

Clearvue is better. I'd rather have the free space in ROM than Powerpoint Mobile. Pocket Slides is far superior. There are no features in Powerpoint Mobile.

Seems to work well. No conversion. Only problem I have encountered so far is that so animations run while some do not. Haven't figured out the difference yet.

Actually, Pocket Slide does need to convert ppt format to its own native format. You'll need to get a converter and install it on you PC. Once you've done that, open Power Point from you PC and you'll see a button on top of the program. That will convert the ppt to Pocket Slide's native format. Then, you can transfer it over to you Axim and open it using Pocket Slide. If there is no converstion, Pocket Slide will not open ppt. Also, although pocket slide kicks ass in features, it does have difficulties converting power point properly. What I mean by this is, when you use shadows or 3D lettering in power point, and try to view it in you Axim, the letters get messed up cuz Pocket Slide can't seem to "deal" well with these features. I always had to take all the "hi-light" features out from the power point and keep the slides simple for Pocket Slide.

I just save my powerpoints as a .pps, and the end result is a very small file that plays pretty smoothly in PowerPoint Mobile. The only effect that I have seen slowdown on is text falling in (the "Swish" animation.).
