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.

Robert
