Why won't my PowerPoint presentation display properly?

Postby Christian » Mon Mar 07, 2005 11:56 am

This FAQ assumes the following:

1. You already have a working Windows and video hardware configuration, so that ZionWorx is running correctly to display songs using dual monitors.

2. You have a FULL version of MS PowerPoint installed on the same computer as ZionWorx.

3. You have already enabled PowerPoint support in the ZionWorx preferences and restarted ZionWorx so the setting takes effect.


Possible solution:

Within PowerPoint you will need to manually change the Slideshow Settings to make the presentation run on the second monitor (i.e. the projector output).

To do this, go to the PowerPoint menu and select:

SlideShow->Set Up Show...

Then change the setting at the bottom of the dialog box to:

Show On: Monitor 2'

Then when you go back to ZionWorx and run the presentation it should jump onto the second monitor.

N.B. If you're using PowerPoint 2000 then this procedure is necessary each time you load a new presentation because of a bug in PowerPoint 2000. Microsoft later fixed this bug in PowerPoint XP/2002, so if you use the newer version then you'll only ever need to change the setting once!
