Playing a PowerPoint file

The in-built media player is not capable of playing Microsoft PowerPoint files. The easiest workaround for this is:

1: Open the file on a computer
2: Check that your slide transitions and timing are set correctly
3: Click [Slide Sorter] (icon with 4 small boxes usually located at the bottom right)
4: Click each slide and select [Transition Type] (Fade is the nicest)
6: Deselect [On Mouse Click] and select [After] and then the time

Once you have done this go to [File] then [Save as Copy]. Give the file a name then click the Drop Down to see all the saving options. In the options select [MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)]. Click [SAVE].

It may take a while to generate the file depending on the content in the PowerPoint.

Once saved, copy the file to a USB drive then click HERE for instructions to play the file on the TV
