Comment on TM Timer for PowerPoint by Tushar Mehta

One version, which was on my website for a day or two, had a programming error in it that caused the time to jump every minute. So, you may want to download the current version and verify that the countdown timer is now working correctly.

Thanks a lot for the compliment. . .

Should I change something in the setup?
Thank you in advance.

Comment on TM Randomize Slideshow by Karyn R Smith

We’d like to use the randomizer to help our students study material during classroom breaks. We have a PPT menu with a link to the Q&A PPT file. I’ve set the Q&A slides to randomize, but each time, it uses the same random pattern. We would like a new random pattern each time the PPT opens in “show” mode, without any activity on the part of the instructor besides choosing the Q&A from the menu. Any advice?

Thanks

I have been struggling with this issue for a very long time and this has given me the understanding on how to track down and deal with this annoying problem.
Though I seldom use late binding, I did like the idea of switching to it to locate the rouge code. Good tip that and , yes, it solved my problem.

Thanks for the post. Much appreciate

Thanks for the compliment, Nils.

The problem with going backwards in the presentation is that PowerPoint doesn’t inform the add-in of the backward movement. So, the add-in gets “confused.” As of now, I don’t have a solution that works reliably.

On the subject of multiple timers, this add-in was designed for the purpose of showing a single timer across all slides in the slideshow. I am working on another add-in that will show multiple timers on a single slide. Hopefully, it will be ready soon.

Hi, I just tested your timer add-in and I think its really great, specially for the use in this company, but the only problem (a known one as I have read) is the one when in the slide we go backwards, teh countdown fails, have you found a solution to this issue?
And to finish I have a question, maybe two, is there anyway to set 2 timers or more in one slide? so it countdown to the first part of the slide and so on until is finish?

Regards and Thanks.

Thanks, works like a charm, and is so simple once you know!

I went for option 2 in the end, it was easier to implement at the stage I was at!

Thanks again,
