Displaying PowerPoint Slides
Follow the steps below to display PowerPoint slides using LitePort (these instructions apply to PowerPoint 2007 in Windows; for other presentation programs refer to the program's instructions or help file for the steps needed to save a presentation as separate JPEG files):
1Connect the USB flash drive to your computer.
2Open your PowerPoint document.
3This step is optional but improves image quality: Click the Design tab near the top of the PowerPoint document window, then click Page Setup. Click the Slides sized for
Height to double their previous values, then click OK.
4Click the Office button in the upper left corner of the PowerPoint document window.
5Point to Save As, then click Other Formats.
6In the Save As dialog box, click the Save as type
7Make sure the contents of your USB flash drive are visible in the Save As dialog box before you continue - to view your USB flash drive in the Save As dialog box, first click My Computer, then
8Click Save. PowerPoint will ask if you want to export every slide or only the current slide; click Every Slide. PowerPoint will save each slide in your presentation as a separate JPEG file. These files are saved in a new folder that has the same name as the original document.
9Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into the projector's LitePort connector.
10On the projector, navigate to the folder created in step 8 and then start the slide show (for instructions on navigating and controlling the slide show, see the Controlling LitePort section above).
