I have a Kiosk that is using PowerPoint 2003 viewer to display a continuously looping presentation. Within that presentation, I have two slides that are simply an image, stretched to the full size of the slide. These images are linked to the original image (.jpg) files. However, these files change at different intervals in the day, while this presentation continues to run. (These two images are of our local forecast and local radar image, each is a static image from a website, being downloaded and saved to a share, overwriting the previous image.)
My problem is that while the PowerPoint presentation is running, it doesn't go out and reload the new versions of these image files. Rather, it simply continues to display the image that was loaded when PowerPoint presentation was initially launched…even though the original image has been updated.
Simply linking these images in PowerPoint isn't working while the presentation is looping.
I'm thinking that there might be a script that can be written so that when PowerPoint gets to those two particular slides, it will go out and grab the newer version of the linked image before it displays that particular slide. Anyone have any suggestions?
