How to use the countdown timers • In PP2007 files, the timers can only be linked and not embedded, but if you save as PP2000-2003 or save as PP2010 then the timers should work on any computer if you save them to USB or email them to someone else. • To use, just copy and paste the slide you want into your PP presentation and then add title/text/pictures as necessary. • The timers cannot be cropped but can be resized or moved around. • Often you won’t see them in the PP until you are in slideshow view. • If a security alert pops up when you start the slideshow, you must enable macros.
