How to trigger a slide at a PPP at an absolut time from clock?

[Carlos Tomás]

How can I get an effect or a slide transition on a preset defined absolut
time? I mean as an example, to advance the slide at 21:00 local tima or
computer time?

Hows your vba? Haqvent tested this but it should work.

This code will loop until 9pm. It assumes that theres a shape 3 on the slide
(change the number if there isnt and should display a clock there. If you set
the slide transition to auto after say 10 secs and start this code with an
action button it should wait till 9pm and then change slides. Make sure you
use a copy to try this on.

Sub timeclock()
Dim mytime
Do
DoEvents
mytime = Time
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes(3) _
..TextFrame.TextRange.Text = mytime

Loop Until mytime = #9:00:00 PM#
End Sub

I dont think there is but ....

using vba is not that hard (remember to work with a copy of your work though )

There are instructions here
