Office 2010 Mobile Presentation Companion

2009-11-26
hi this is adam lane with pacquiao calm and there's a couple interesting new features in mobile office 2010 for windows mobile 6.5 one of them language showed right now is the mobile companion so this is a nice way to you know control a presentation with your phone so first i'm going to open powerpoint on the device you can see in the background powerpoint is also open 2010 on my tablet and first thing you have to do is open both the same power point presentation on both devices so you have to either email to yourself or copied over or sink it over with live mesh and then on the computer you have to go to adin's you actually have to install this presentation companion and once its installed it'll show up in the add-ins tab and you hit start ok and it's going to tell me to that i need the same file over there and i can email to myself but I don't want to 11 got you here the office 2010 on the desktop has to be 32-bit the plugin doesn't work with 64 bit systems it's now on the phone I got it started on the desktop I go to presentation companion and it's going to tell me that I have to install that program and it's going to tell me that I have to start it in the add-ins tab just like I did and then it's going to tell me that I have to go to the presentation companion menu item which I just did so I hit next and it's going to ask me which computer I want to connect to and do I want to start the presentation yes and you notice the computer just just started the presentation and on my phone I have the notes for slide 1 so and I have buttons have menu I can go to whatever slide I want Duke liquor slideshow stop clicker closed file so fight next see my notes change tells me the slide to and everybody else can see the slide next again so this is totally wireless remote control and I can be walking around bluetooth with my presentation and reading my notes and that's the end so not bad pretty good another gotcha the windows mobile device has to be using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack so you know normally wouldn't think I was problem but HTC has decided to use some other type of Bluetooth stack on their new devices like the touch pro 2 and the hd2 so those will not be compatible with office 2010 mobile unfortunately so that's it for now
