RoyS Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi All, I’m using Screen Monkey (3.6.21.3) and am trying to use a RF pointer to control a Powerpoint PPT from within SM. The host PC has Powerpoint 2007 and I can control the advance of slides using the pointer if I open the PPT within Powerpoint. If I open the PPT in ScreenM it opens file and can be advanced my using the keyboard keys – but not the RF pointer… Are there any SM settings I need to alter? Many thanks.

nickb12345 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You probably need to edit the Keyboard Hotkeys in the ScreenMonkey. Go into the settings and select Keyboard & Mouse on the left side. Find the Advance slide (or similar) option and map it to the keys on the pointer (usually Left/Right?). Sorry that's a bit vague I know, haven't got ScreenMonkey on this PC so cant check it out - but it should point you in the right direction?

RoyS Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Nick, I'm trying to link a couple of buttons via the Settings > Mouse and Keyboard section where I'm presented with the following list:DashboardAudio Layer PlaybackLayer1 PlaybackLayer2 PlaybackLayer3 PlaybackLayer4 PlaybackProfilesLayer TransparencySpaceFlash ClipSong Clip So far I have not placed my content in layers, so by default I assume they are in the Active Layer. In the above list there are no options for controlling the Default Layer...So therefore:.... I assigned all my content to be in Layer 1. Then via the above list navigated to Settings > Layer 1 Playback and had the following controls: Play ClipClip Forward (Go)Clip ReverseRate I clicked on each of these and pressed a different button on my pointer. As I press the pointer buttons, SM reported that it had seen my button press.. I then saved my show. I then clicked on the PPT, which then displayed on my second screen. But the pointer buttons had no effect..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb12345 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Just checked on mine. Look under Dashboard on the Mouse & Keyboard menu and there is an Next Slide and a Previous Slide option. Connect your clicker, press the Next Slide button and you will see the name of the key appear in the toolbar at the top. Then double click the Next Slide option which will turn it bold and map the two keys together. Repeat that for the Previous slide and you should be well away.
