The April 2008 Edition of SSP will include several enhancements to its slide show capabilities.

YEA!!!!! EXIT ANIMATIONS!!!

Add audio to the videos, and PPT has met its match. Actually PPT can have troubles with audio also. Another thing to note is that I couldn't build anything more than basic with PPT, as I only use it when I have to.

I just thought of one more thing that SSB would need to make PPT obsolete. A SSBPlayer, or a way to export SSB to a WMV or AVI.

I hope in the next update that we have automatic save of programs or, at least, the standard CTRL S. Yeh, I just lost an hour's work when SSP crashed when trying to import a DVD and I hadn't saved anything!

Maybe the "favorite" font can be updated so that it continues even after exiting SSP. Also the application of fonts in the text box of SSB is goofy. I can pick a font and start typing and find that the original default font is still used. The only way I can get the font I want is to hilite the text and then select the desired font.

Is it going to have automated vs. manual firing per animation and/or slide?

Ah. But I'm ready to be shed of this millstone called Powerpoint. And I need to have some things auto fire and other manual fire within the same slide show to be able to do it.

Does anyone have any ideas, or if it can be done, on how to link Excel to SSB slides? Currently we use PPT to display prayer requests, through SSP, that volunteers input within Excel. Both being MS products it does work flawlessly, however, it adds another element or another piece of software needed into our workload. As we have to open PPT to refresh the links as service starts. This part of the service tends to get hectic as last minute changes are made to the service, uuugh.
 
If I can have SSP/SSB carry the whole load for the service, it would make life much easier.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, you can!

I was all set to give you the bad news, but I fired up SSB and there is an option for an OLE option.

  • Select Slide -> New and then scroll down the slide templates and pick on of the OLE slides. Or you can insert an OLE object from the side bar.
  • Right click on the OLE object and select Edit.
  • Select "Create from File" (rather than "Create New").
  • Click the browse button and browse and select your Prayer request spreadsheet.
  • Click the Link checkbox next to the browse button and make user that the Display as Icon is not selected.

Those are the settings that worked for me. You may need to play around with them.

But that should get you started down the right path.
