2 .ppt Presentations Synched to Same Music?

[Chris]

I am looking for a way to synchronize two separate presentations to a single
music source imbedded in the presentation. The low tech solution would be to
just start the two at the same time on two separate computers; but, I am
looking for something more definitive.

You have to embed the music file into each presentation, and the only files that get embedded are .wav files

Michael:

Once embedded into the file, how do you synchronize the music so that both
slide shows play and match the music? I'll be in a conference center with
two presentations pointed at two different walls. I need the images in both
presentations to match the timing of the music.

If the presentations are the same, start them both at the same time. the music has to be in both presentations.

Hi Chris,

If you have multiple monitors connected to the same computer, then PowerShow
from http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html will allow you to
synchronize two slide shows running simultaneously on that machine. The page
http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow_sync_shows.html provides more
information on the Synchronous Shows feature.
