 and that's after the first 497 days rolled the counter over.

I'm never going to be able to keep up in the uptime category. Too much
changes here on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. However, I have just set
up a dedicated server/firewall/gateway box, so perhaps I can have a go at
an uptime that gets into double digits...

Sound in presentaions ( wasRe: 75 days and still perking...)

2002-05-27 Thread Tim Wunder

Maybe... But it woud seem to me to only allow you to play a presentation file, 
not create one.
Either way, I don't have it installed...

It looks like there's a way, in fact, to get audio into an OOo presentation. I 
managed to get it to play a WAV file during the presentation, but it places a 
fairly ugly button on the screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn 
it off :-(

It's the adding of an audio file to OO that I'm having difficulty with. My son 
worked with OO for several hours and only managed to generate transition 
sounds, but that's not what he wanted. He was in a time crunch so we decided 
to just use PowerPoint (it was painfully simple with PowerPoint :-( ).
Since then,  I found out how to add an audio file as a background. The problem 
now is that you need to put a big 'ol ugly button on the presentation that, 
once clicked, will play the audio file. And then, once the music starts 
playing, I can't seem to stop it without exiting OO altogether.
In addition, once the button is placed on the presentation, there doesn't seem 
to be a way to edit it (move it, change it's appearance, delete it, assign a 
different WAV file...).
This is with OO build 641, so it may be different with 1.0.0.
I haven't tried exporting to PPT, yet.

Regards, 
Tim

This is from one of our ISP customers with over a thousand users
hitting the mail server.  We installed in in October 2001, and it
was rebooted once, 242 days ago when they moved their office to
another building.
 12:11am  up 242 days,  9:41,  0 users,  load average: 1.37, 1.07, 0.61

Our own systems have never stayed up that long, only because
Puget Sound Energy can't keep us from having power failures every
sixty days or so.
