Now, of course, if you have a Pocket PC, you can also see the animations and rearrange your slides -

Thanks, Vicky-d, that is just such a cool idea! http://www.prometheanworld.com/common/html/vb_forum/images/smilies/clap.gif

With the help of my 12 year old (I need reading glasses to see the screen on my iPod), I downloaded one of my flipcharts from my pc.

The problem we had was that each page in the ppt had to be done individually, we couldn't format the whole flipchart in one go. How could we have done this?

Many thanks for explaining this brilliant idea!

Because I hadn't tried this first on a pc I didn't realise the flipchart got exported as a ppt file.

Anyway there is a way of formatting the flipchart all at once.

If you open the ppt file in PowerPoint then select File>Save as… you can select JPEG file interchange format from the 'Save as type' drop-down menu at the bottom of the browser window.

When you click on save a box should appear asking if you want to save everyslide in the presentation. Select Every Slide then all the pages should be individually saved in a folder on you hard drive.

Hope this helps;)
