displaying a .ppt file

I want to display several powerpoint (.ppt) files (one after another with each new .ppt file not starting until the old .ppt file has finished).

Can I do this in PB?

If so, how?

I doubt so, since ppt is a proprietary format.
without a PowerPoint licence, you would be not allowed to disassamble ppt files, I guess.

you may need a dll you have to pay for, if MS sells it extra from the PowerPoint package.
if you own a PowerPoint licence, you may find an easy way to control it from PB.

You can control powerpoint with COM, which means you should be able to use srod's free Comate library. If you're not familiar with it, you can find it in the announcements forum via search.
