Schedule a routine to run at a specific time

Question

I am trying to figure out if there is an Excel event equivalent OnTimefor PowerPoint 2003; I would like to call a subroutine at a specific time of day.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if there is an OnTime equivalent, but here is another option. You can create a macro that calls this routine, and then create a scheduled Windows task to invoke this macro as follows:

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\POWERPNT.exe" /M myfile.pptm "MyMacro"
