It is indeed a good practice to
enable the power saving features in-built in the computers. However
sometimes these very same features can be a real pain. The computer
could go into power saving mode right in the midst of a presentation.
PowerPoint 2000 automatically prevents it however here is how you tackle
it in PowerPoint 97.
-
Click on Start | Control Panel | Power Options.
-
In the Power Option properties
window, click on the Power Schemes Tab
-
Set the Turn off Monitor/
Turn off Hard Disks option when on Power (and also
Battery for laptop users) to Never.
-
Now click on the Save
as... button and assign a name to this power scheme... Let
us call it 'Presentation' and then click on OK.
-
That's it congrats! Now
whenever you are about to give a presentation and need to have the
monitor always on; click on Start | Control Panel | Power Options and select our newly created 'Presentation'
power scheme. And when thru with the presentation you can revert back
to one of the other power saving modes.
