how do I play multiple .ppt files continuously

[ltpeine]

the microsoft website says I can create a .lst file on notepad with a list of
the .ppt files I want to play and then create a batch file with that list and
the pptviewer.exe file that will play the .ppt files together. however, i
don't know how to save something as a .lst file on notepad.....also, if there
is a better way to do this, any information would be appreciated

By default, Notepad saves files as .txt which is just fine, or you can use
the Save as feature, and save your file as playlist.lst as an example. Your
batch file would have one line in it also created in notepad. the line would
look like this

@pptview.exe /L "playlist.txt" or this if you saved your list file with a
..lst extension @pptview.exe /L "playlist.lst"

If you use the Package for CD copy to file feature including the viewer, all
this will be done for you by PowerPoint. Then in the future it is just a
matter of replacing your old PowerPoint files with your new ones, and
changing the names in the list file.
