PowerPoint control via Zionworx
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 4:38 pm
We have been using Zionworx and PowerPoint 2003 for the past year and everything is working perfectly -- most of the time.
One issue we have is if we have queued up Quicktime (or any other media player) to show a video. Our sequence could be something like:
congregational singing from words via Zionworx
start powerpoint presentation for 'say' scripture reading and advance to next slide for intro to video clip
-- if we minimize zionworx at this point the powerpoint remains on the big screen and when we try to maximise zionworx to access the powerpoint controls it won't maximise requiring a forced shutdown of zionworx and powerpoint from the <CTRL><ALT><DEL> Windows Task Manager.
If after viewing the video intro on the powerpoint the stop control is pressed then zionworx can be minimised and we have access to the media player controls.
Has anybody else had this scenario? I know that we should always follow every step in completing commands but sometimes in the middle of a service you forget about the tiniest things.
