When you copy a PowerPoint (PPT) file that has Powercom poller slides to another computer, you need to consider the following:
1. Install the same or a later version of Powercom on the computer. If you see a message saying the ActiveX control can not be registered when you open the PPT file, it is indicating that the Powercom Poller is not recognized by this version of Powercom. You may have to delete the poller and create a new poller.
2. Copy the PPT file to the folder you are preparing for the presentation.
3. Open the PPT file and examine the file in design mode and slide show mode. You may need to:
a. Install any missing PowerPoint templates.
b. Install any missing Fonts.
c. Install any special programs may be required to support viewing the file as a PPT object.
d. Repair any missing links of objects by copying the objects to the local computer and updating the file path.
e. Copy missing Music files to the Powercom music folder.
f. Copy Roster PRT and PRL files to the Roster folder (the default folder is MyDocument\Powercom\Roster).
g. Install or prepare any special drivers for the hardware, such as a USB driver for the cable connecting to the standard Reply base station. The ReplyWorldWide USB driver for the base station is installed in the Powercom program file, however, there is no standard USB adopter driver for the Standard Reply base station. Therefore, it is important to keep the USB driver software handy.
Notes: items a, b, c, and d are only related to PowerPoint and are not related to Powercom.
4. Run slide show in demo mode and review the Polling result graph position and adjust the size and position. Due to the monitor graphic settings, the poller design mode position may not be exactly the same position as the slide show time.
5. Perform file maintenance under the PPT file folder, delete or rename updated result files and picture folders OR rename the files for easy file management.
