I often use a powerpoint slide to carry exercise instructions on a training event. I then use a countdown timer for calling off the time to delegates.
Does anyone know a way of putting a simple countdown timer into a powerpoint slide so that all the delegates can see it with the exercise instructions?

Use Custom Animation
Powerpoint can be set to display images of text on the same after a set time period. Send me your e mail and I will send you an example which you can customise.

Powerpoint timer
Thoughtfully, for Microsoft, they have included a timer device in this product. In tabs at the top of the open product go to “Slide Show > Set Up Show, which will open a dialogue box where it’s presented as an option under “Advance slides”. If you’re looking for something else then under teh same tab try “rehearse timings”. I think either one should sort this one out for you. Wendy
