728839 2008-12-14 01:47:00 I have a collection of Power Point files containing graphics & music.

Is there any way to minimize the screen display, but keep the music running? It takes the whole screen.

Alternatively, is it possible to play the music without a display? Extract the music content?

728840 2008-12-14 02:10:00 You dont know how to minimise an application in Windows?...

Top right hand corner...minus sign, minimise, minus sign at top on rectangle to maximise,2 boxes, restore to previous window setting and cross to close application...

728841 2008-12-14 02:27:00 I think he means while the slide show is running, in which case there are no minimize buttons. Try Windows key+D. :) Or, pressing B gives you a black screen (W for white).

You could use an audio recording program to extract, or, if they're .pptx files (Office 2007), simply rename them to .zip and find them as files.

728842 2008-12-14 03:38:00 Edit... that won't work..... :(

Could you turn the monitor off or play the music file through WMP?

728843 2008-12-16 09:21:00 The reason I wish to minimize the slide show is so I can work at the same time. mzee (3324)
728844 2008-12-16 19:19:00 Windows key+D would be your best bet, but if you open something else it may come back.

If you email/PM them to me, I may be able to convert them into .pptx files, and therefore extract the music out of them. :) (Unless you have Office 2007. :p)
