You cannot run video within &kpresenter;. If you really need to show a movie, make a link to it on your desktop, move &kpresenter; out of the way, click the link to the movie file and use <application>mplayer</application> (or similar) to view it.</para> --> <para><application>Powerpoint</application> Files. &kpresenter; does attempt to import &Microsoft; <application>Powerpoint</application> files but it does not always work perfectly. It depends on the <application>Powerpoint</application> file version and what is in the file. You can always import pictures for the background image and re-type any text. It's not the ideal solution, re-doing the entire presentation. However, just bear in mind that <application>Powerpoint</application> does not even attempt to read &kpresenter; files.</para> <para>Taking notes or minutes. One piece of software allows you to make notes during the meeting and puts them into a word processor. If you are speaking, someone else should be taking notes. If you really must do this sort of thing, take a note pad and pencil. </para> </chapter>
