Greetings,
I've run into a limitation w/ PowerPoint, and hope someone can provide guidance or advice.
I'd like to have a "live" clock (digital or analog) running on screen during a PPT kiosk presentation. PPT will not (or at least I cannot make it) do this.
I'll be running Office X on OS 10.2. Anyone aware of a work around?
Thanks,

Sure! Just launch the Clock application (located in the Applications folder).
Once Clock launches, choose Preferences, and choose to display the clock "in a floating window". You can also set whether you want an analog or digital clock, if you want a second hand, etc.
You can also adjust the transparency of the floating clock to your liking by dragging the slider.
Finally, drag the clock to a convenient position, and start the presentation.
That should work. I haven't tested it in PowerPoint X, but it does work in PowerPoint 2001.

Cool Idea! I tried it out with PowerPoint X and it does work, however when you play a keynote presentation it does not float in front of the presentation.
