Will ZionWorx work with the free PowerPoint Viewer?

[RichB]

Can the free PowerPoint Viewer be used in place of Microsoft Office's PowerPoint for viewing-only in ZionWorx?

Creation or downloading of a PP presentation would be performed on the pastor's computer that has a full-fledged version of PowerPoint. It would then be sent over the network to ZionWorx on a second computer where we want to use the free PowerPoint Viewer.

Hi,

Unfortunately the PPT Viewer is next to useless for integration purposes with ZionWorx. Microsoft have even (deliberately?) made it impossible to use their "PowerPoint 2003 Viewer" from 3rd party applications, and there is nothing we can do about this

There is a light on the horizon though in the form of "Impress" from the free "OpenOffice" suite. This is a brilliant Microsoft PowerPoint replacement and the developers are planning to add dual monitor support sometime in the future so as soon as this happens we will work to include that into ZionWorx. This would be a really good FREE solution!

Best regards,
Christian.
