IDEA: A minute countdown timer in PowerPoint

(1/3) > >>

traffic_doc:
I conduct a number of training seminars, conferences, webinar's, etc.  What I'm looking for is a PowerPoint file that would count down the time from a preset number to zero. via some sort of PowerPoint loop.

For example, 15 minutes prior to the start of a conference, there would be a big '15 minutes to start' displayed on the screen.  The next minute it would change to 14 minutes, etc. 

If a 'screen-saver' type photo display could be incorporated, that would be great.

mediaguycouk:
There would be 'whizzier' ways of doing it, but would the easiest be 15 frames set to automatically progress to the next slide after 60 seconds?

mouser:
there are plenty of such standalone utilities that people use with powerpoint but not powerpoint slides themselves.
you start it up and set it to say "TALK BEGINS in 5 minutes" and it fills up entire screen with large text and counts down.

Very dangerous in my experience.
 

* At '5' most of the canapés have gone
* at '4' 90% of the wine has gone
* at '3' all of the beer has gone
* at '2' even the dregs have gone
* at '1' the swine who were supposed to listen to you have left
* at '0'... 0 WTF, might as well go home.

I made you an application to take care of this... Let me know what you think and if you need something changed! If I respond 1-2 days late, it is because I am on vacation at the moment :) Enjoy!
