A data shape is a standard
Microsoft PowerPoint shape or object that can bound to
DataPoint. The most used shapes are probably text boxes,
images, graphs and tables. You can add a date or ticking
clock to your slides. Or when you use data connections,
you can specify which text is displayed within a text
box. Or choose to display a linked OLE object such as
a picture or video, based on the information that is deducted
from the data connection.
Use
the clock shape to add the current date or time
to your presentation. This clock or calendar function
will be updated automatically by DataPoint. You
can choose a date or time format from the predefined
list.
Adding a calendar
or clock to your slide
Just
add a new text shape to your slide and set its
format. Click DataPoint > Clock shape properties
to continue.
Available formats

the desired format from the list. Choose a date
format to insert a calendar or choose a time format
to insert a clock.

the text shape and return to a normal and static
