 * I was working with PowerPoint recently and I learned 2 things that I think you may be interested in. First is a way to make your files run easier. If you change the name of your powerpoint document, let's pretend and call it "Awesome.ppt", if you change that to "Awesome.pps" then when you open it, it will not open powerpoint. It will only open a viewer. This makes it a lot less processor intensive so it would be easier to run.
