Good morning Ronni Wow, it is very, very cold this morning.
I tried a few more times with the PPS presentation, both from Keynote and from Powerpoint (on my Mac). Same as previously. I am able to take this to the stage where I can play the show on my Apple TV; however I have no option to slow the slides down, so they are a bit too fast on the Apple TV to read the notes, or to fully enjoy each slide quite long enough. Nor does the music play; I am unable to add my own music. Apart from curiosity, this is fine; the slides look great on the big TV and I am still able to watch the show with its original effects on my Desktop Mac. So many thanks for this Ronni. If I do discover a way at some point in the future to achieve the steps of slowing the slideshow down, and exporting the music with the slideshow, I will write in and let you know.
