Hello GeoffStein,

You can find the new PowerPoint Import feature in the File Menu by clicking "Import PowerPoint."

We've put together a tutorial video that will walk you though the process of bringing PowerPoint presentations into Noventri Suite, which you can find at this post: Noventri Suite PowerPoint Import Feature Tutorial

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'd be happy to help!

Kind Regards,

Hi there

Just download the free version, to test if this could be the solutions for us.

Basically, my situations is that we have a reception, with a big screen, hooked with a PC.
We want to display 2 different powerpoint slides on this, where on of them, is more or less update daily,
with information of visitors for the day.

So my problem is, after importing the powerpoint slide, into a new project, the contence is not shown, in preview.
It only show a little thumnail called "image 1".

So any idea what the problem is ?

Hello Eltechadmin,

When you select the Edit Page tab in the Design portion of the software and select your page do you see your PowerPoint slide content? If you do not see any image then the PowerPoint project was not imported properly.

Try importing the PowerPoint project again and make sure to follow the steps in the following video: http://www.noventri.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=441

Also, could you please provide the steps that you are taking in order to see the preview?

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Hi

I have seen that video and follow the instructions (fairly simple):

1: Select import powerponit from file menu.
2: Name project and select a powerponit file.
3: Select "add powerpoint to sequence" and give the sequence a name. (I've also tried with selecting this).
4: Selecting resolution and then pres OK.

And as mention I can't see the contense of the powerpoint file, witch by the way is made PowerPoint 2010 and is very simply, 1 slide only with text (just for test purpose).
