MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Can I use Powerpoint through a projector like a 'whiteboard'
I would like to use Powerpoint through a projector and 'brain-storm' a group for ideas which are immediatleyy visible on the screen. Is this possible preferably via the 2nd montior display? PowerPoint would be a very poor choice for something like this. It's intended to be used to make and display presentations. You might want to consider using something like Messenger and it's "white boarding" features.

My situation is where I ask the audience a questionin the middle of a talk - using PP and would like to write the answers / comments up on an existing slide so others can see and remember what has already been said. It's not so much aimed at 'business' situations, in fact I am talking about church! or a bible study group... Will PP allow me to do this - even poorly? If I use Messenger I will then run into other problems with existing s/w used during the service. > PowerPoint would be a very poor choice for something like this.

The key point here being that in slide show view it wouldn't work, but if you're just showing the normal PPT view, and don't mind the other participants seeing that, it'd be just fine. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
