Automatically update Powerpoint Presentation from remote PC

[Plermpel]

Hello,

 

In my company, I have a TV showing actual Information and Statistics.

The PC is grabbing the Power Point Presentation from a Network Storage and it is running 24/7.

If the Powerpoint needs to be updated, I have to acces the PC via VNC and reopen it.

Now I was wondering if there is some sort of Visual Basic Script that updates the Presentation automaticly,

so I just need to copy the file to the server and in the next loop it shows the updated file?

Updateing links, like Excel tables in a presentation is quite easy that way but I haven't yet found a way to update the whole presentation.

 

Thanks for your help,

I would look into using Microsoft's cloud-based versions of MS Office programs which can be accessed by multiple collaborators simultaneously and updates in real time as changes are made.

Isn't there anyway to do this offline inside the network?
