MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Is picture in picture possible in MS Power Point?
I would like to place a "timer clock" in my MS Presentation so the students can see the question and the timer count down. ( I did download the timer clock and I will try to "re-set" to the time I desire.) Is this possible? I have approx. 100 questions in total and each slide, when turned to, will count down from 2 1/2 minutes to zero. If you've downloaded from the microsoft site you will find its very difficult to modify as they have used pictures not text. Easy enough to make your own countdown timer Draw a rectangle and add the text 02:30, adjust font etc to taste Now copy and paste - take say 5 secs off ie change to 02.25 Keep doing this till 00:00 Drag a selection box around the lot and use the align tool to line them up Still with them all selected go to custom animation > appear> delay 5 secs> after previous Set the slide transtion to auto after 0 secs Obviously you could substitute any time instead of 5 secs Hope it makes sense  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I would like to place a "timer clock" in my MS Presentation so the students > can see the question and the timer count down.

Thank you John, I will give it a try! > If you've downloaded from the microsoft site you will find its very difficult > to modify as they have used pictures not text. By "Drag a selection box around the lot and use the align tool to line them up" do you mean stacking one on top of the other? I have questions and electrical diagrams on the slide and don't want to cover them up.

If you get stuck , drop me an email as I already have it on file!

Tk you again. Made the clock. Works sort of. Timing of # as they count down is off. Students will get a kick out that! (fast in places, slow in others. I did check timing. 0 on in # and 5 sec on out). Now how do I get the "clock" into my presentation? Hyperlink worked but only clock showed not the slide with the question on it. Do I make this slide a "master" and insert my questions around the clock? > If you get stuck , drop me an email as I already have it on file!

Once its working (I should have mentioned dont animate the 02:30, if you have highlight it in custom animation - should be first item and click remove) drag a selection rectangle around the "clock" so all layers are selected . Copy and paste on to the slide master in your presentation. Mine keeps fair time so maybe you made a mistake somewhere Signature_____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Tk you again.
