Does anyone know a way to expand Docs to Go powerpoint slides to use the full stretch screen on the Tungsten T3? It seems to be only possible to zoom in to show part of the slide or zoom out and display the slide plus notes.

I want to be able to give a mini powerpoint presentation on my T3 screen in a one on one situation. The ability to have slides expand to fill the screen will greatly improve their readability.

Word docs seem to fill the screen so I thought I could use it instead but obviously this is far from ideal! Any other thoughts or suggestions would be greatfully received.

Thanks

Try using CodeDiver, it works fine on T3.

Can you please only post a request in one place!!!

You posted this in 3 different forums! If it is in the wrong one then it will get moved, having it in 3 is just a waste of time and resources...

Anyway, hope that helps!

Wolf,
I'd be interested to know what one actually does with Codediver to accomplish this.

If the fix is too complicated I would keep looking for an alternative fix, due to the risk that a hack (if that is what Codediver creates) would interfere with something else on my Palm that I depend on. Others might be willing to go ahead.

Are others having the same slide display problem? I would like to use Powerpoint on my T3, too, but have not tried it yet.

Not really a hack, basically you choose Add Program, then choose the program you want to stretch, then Force Silk, then Long on both...

I use it on a number of things, including Clock+ so that it looks right when sitting in the cradle while I work.

Try it, the absolute worse it could do is force a reset, in which case you just go to it and deactivate it then delete it. You cannot do permenant harm with it - I have tried!

I guess I am missing something, Docs to Go , specifically SlideShow to Go is already a 320x480 application so how is Code Diver going to expand the display of the PPT inside Slideshow to Go?

For now I think Repligo is the way to go for displaying (not editing) PPT's on your PDA, with maximum resolution

Ah fair enuff, Repligo it is - I have to admit I haven't really looked at Repligo yet...
