Whew! I hope I do not have to work with this Outlook problem again, it really is flustering. I end up: 1. Replacing Outlook Express 2. Reinstalling Office XP 3. Reinstalling Internet Explorer 4. Run repair Internet Explorer (though I doubt if I really needed to.) Microsoft -says- that will fix it. It still beats me why I need OE for the news reader when I not using a news reader. But anyway, I have a PowerPoint inquiry for you folks. I built a file starting with the number 23:59:59, I made a file of numbers like this: 23:59:59 23:59:58 23:59:57 23:59:56 and so on until 00:00:00 That is 86,400 lines, second by second. PowerPoint seems to have a limit on how many frames per presentation you may have. Is there a way around this limit? If each line is shown for one second, it would appear to be a count-down timer. Then I could "advance" to my starting point, say: 01:12:59 and run from that point for example. I have done it for 48 seconds, and on my machine at least, it seems to work. But what about 24 hours? Even if I use only HH:MM instead of HH:MM:SS, that results in 1440 frames, which seems to be beyond PowerPoint's ability. Any workable suggestions? (Remember, I am a rookie at PowerPoint, so be kind please.) Thank you.
