Can a play a PowerPoint presentation from a flash drive?

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.

Yes. I was able to present a ppt presentation via a jump drive. However, most of my presentations were via a laptop.

1 - You shouldn't have any trouble converting between Microsoft and OpenOffice file formats. Please note though, some people imbed videos in their PPT files and Linux has to jump through a few hoops before it will play well with Apple's and Microsoft's proprietary video formats. Beyond that, you should have zero problems here. 2 - The Eee does indeed have a VGA port and you ought to be able to hook up to any projector you like. 3 - I'm not sure about this, but it may be as simple as using a different keystroke in Impress than the one you would use in PowerPoint.

I don't believe that the "slideshow" mode you are referring to is attributed to projector. The projector is not a processor, so it can't determine a format for your material to be presented, it will only project what is given. In other words, if you connect a vcr/dvd player, it doesn't choose which format, that is up to you to choose. So when you connect with your USB, it will only project what the usb signals. How did you put your images on the USB? With a slideshow style program, transfer from SD or copied from computer? Your USB could also come with programming that auto selects the slideshow viewing, try checking that. Your problem is not the projector.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

I think you have to have PowerPoint software loaded to play your file. I haven't tried but pretty sure it want work unless you have the engine loaded on a device to run the file.

Yes, you can download it on from a flash drive or what you have downloaded of a computer.

No. You will need to hook up a laptop to the projector and plug the flash drive into your laptop and view it that way.

Not directly from say a thumb drive, if that's your question. It can, of course play MP3 files it receives from an attached computer (USB) or other player (CD Toslink) which uncompresses the files. CAUTION: I could NOT ever get the USB interface to work on Vista 64, so I returned the unit. Later bought their UDH01 DAC + HPA but the USB drivers crash my system. Now paperweight.

Yes. The Toshiba Excite CAN open powerpoint slides. It comes with an application called "Quick Office" (Lite version) which can be used to view ppt presentations.

Hi Ramiro. Funny you ask that! I actually presented a ppt presentation last night and it consisted of MP3s and videos at the same time with texts and it worked great! No lag and very smooth!

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

That's a good question. There is a question posted here that answers the Keynote presentation part, but nothing about Powerpoint. I'll have to try it.

I suppose you could, but it wouldn't be very fast. It would be better to use a flash drive.

yes it does play a usb flash drive, it starts at the beginning of the song that you left it on...

I don't think so, and neither does my husband. We have both used it for slide shows. It's a minimalist item. I used it with my laptop to show slides of my paintings; he used it with a USB flash drive for a presentation at work. Neither of us was overwhelmed with the results. The connectivity was a real issue.

Don't see why not. Plug in the USB and, it basically runs like a flash drive.
