7. Using The Accordent PowerPoint Add-In
7.1 Using The Accordent PowerPoint Add-In
Accordent PresenterPRO includes an Accordent PowerPoint Add-In that enables
a presenter to synchronize PowerPoint slides from a remote computer. By
communicating directly with Accordent PresenterPRO, a computer with only
PowerPoint and the Accordent PowerPoint Add-In installed, can be used to create
slide synchronization files that become part of a synchronized, streaming
presentation.
Note: Because the Accordent PowerPoint Add-In works in conjunction with
Accordent PresenterPRO, it is necessary to configure Accordent PresenterPRO
prior to using the Accordent PowerPoint plug-i .
The Accordent PowerPoint Add-In should already be installed on the system that
will be used to present the PowerPoint slides. Once installed, the Add-In is
enabled by first highlighting the “Settings” drop-down menu in the Presentation
Manager and enabling Allow PowerPoint Add-in (See Figure 7-1).
Fig. 7-1
Once enabled, open Microsoft PowerPoint on the computer on which the
Accordent PowerPoint Add-In has been installed (the system that will be used to
synchronize PowerPoint slides).
In Microsoft PowerPoint, highlight the Tools drop-down menu in Microsoft
PowerPoint. On the tools drop-down menu, select the Accordent Add-In Options
(See Figure 7-2).
