Had a bit of a fight with PowerPoint trying to set up a service. Office 2007 on Vista.
</p>
<p>
First of all I added a ".pptx" file, but it looks as though you only remove the last 4 characters (rather than finding the location of the .) since the name had a trailing dot. Once adding it in the media manager, I was unable to open it, or even delete it!

<p>
Went back to powerpoint and saved it as ".ppt" which was more successful. Added it to the order of service, tested it 'live', saved the order of service. Closed down openlp.org.
</p>
<p>
Re-opened openlp, and it showed and hid the splash screen, but wouldn't go any further. (I have it set to open the last oos automatically). So renamed the oos file, openlp started fine. Opened the oos file manually (worked fine) but then tried to go live on the ppt, and just got lots of messages popping up telling me it couldn't find an image. (the ppt only had 4 slides in it, but got many more messages)

(Oh and the last niggle whilst I'm here is that it doesn't refresh the operators view if the ppt has an automatic advance on it... possibly something to look at when you rework PPT handling after the 1.0 release?)
