You can generate an offline presentation from within DataPoint in order to communicate and distribute your slide show to others that not have any DataPoint software installed.

Also you can create an offline presentation to freeze the information in e.g. a sales reporting show per week.

By generating an offline presentation, the dynamic content will be refreshed only once and then the dynamic links will be broken. This presentation has become a complete static presentation that be distributed to others.

To create an offline presentation you need DataPoint Standard Edition or DataPoint Enterprise Edition. No PresentationPoint products are required to view the generated offline presentations. Only Microsoft PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer are required on the client computers.

Start Microsoft PowerPoint and open the desired presentation. Now click Create offline presentation from the DataPoint menu. The new offline presentation will be saved as a temporary file. You can name and save it to a specific location.
