Outlook reminder wanted to pop up over playing powerpoint

[shandain]

Hi ~

I used to be able to have outlook reminders pop up over the top of a
powerpoint slideshow in progress. Now the outlook reminder will not
play over top of the ppt... any ideas how I can get that back?

According to Microsoft Office help on Outlook 2003, it doesn't appear over a
PowerPoint presentation (but will if jumping out to another program):

If it used to work that way, I would imagine that it has been fixed. I sure
wouldn't want a reminder to take the dog to the groomer, or to buy beer on the
way home, to pop up in the middle of a business presentation.

How did you use this "feature"? Maybe we can suggest another way of doing what
you want.
