I need to give PowerPoint presentations when I am travelling abroad. I have a laptop and a digital projector, but, under present regulations, I cannot carry both as hand baggage when I fly. I do need the projector, because most of the places that I go don't have one. Trevor Watkins
There are programs such as Pocket SlideShow that will enable a PowerPoint presentation to be shown on a monitor or TV set. The tricky bit is connecting the PocketPC or other handheld PC to the projector. Geetesh Bajaj describes some of the options at Masterviews, which is a good source of information for international presenters. Also have a look at SlideBurner (http://slideburner.com/), a website that lets you upload your PowerPoint presentation and show it in a web browser.
Backchat: Jonathan Briggs says: "The palm-sized Grand EyeZup Pro pocket presenter (http://grandtec.com/eyezup.htm) reads fromFlash memory cards and outputs (via VGA, USB, S-Video etc) directly to a projector." Andy Monroe says it might be possible to use a smaller projector: "There are now several projectors not much bigger that a fag packet, good enough for an office presentation."
