Importing Powerpoints

[martiningram1971]

Can someone remind me or clarify how to import powerepoints not as hole pages but as individual objects. I eem to remember an option on the import tool but it does not appear to be where I thought it was. Can anyone help?

maybe i'm being a little blunt here but whats the point in having an interactive whiteboard if you're just using it the same as you'd use a powerpoint? :p

If you have PowerPoints already created, you may wish to make them interactive and it is sometimes quicker/easier to do this by dragging and dropping the created elements - text/images from PP into AS.

Hi Martin

That option is only available for exporting flipcharts to Powerpoint.

Now Mr Rosthorn

Stop getting stroppy :D Importing Powerpoints is a useful function to help teachers quickly convert old resources to flipchart format. After all the less people that use Powerpoint the better! :D :D :D :D

Maybe I'm missing something, but the few times I've converted ppt to flipcharts, the graphics quality was worsened, and the pages shrank. I remain to be convinced that conversion is better than using the ppt and annotating over the window.

Agreed
