Error: The .lst file format has been changed(due to .LST unsupported in PowerPt)
Error:
Sorry, the .lst file format has been changed. Please look up .lst files in on-line help.(when trying to open a play list .lst file, to run the play list while in PowerPoint).
Cause:
PowerPoint for Windows 95 does not support .LST files (i.e., play lists).
Solution:
Run the play list in the PowerPoint Viewer.
NOTE: To run a series of slide shows from a play list, the play list must first be created.
1) Do one of the following to open the PowerPoint Viewer:
a) Double-click the PowerPoint Viewer shortcut icon, if one exists. (The PowerPoint Viewer opens.)
b) Create and use a shortcut icon, if one does not exist:
1] Create a shortcut icon for the PowerPoint Viewer.
2] Double-click the created shortcut icon. (The PowerPoint Viewer opens.)
c) Open the PowerPoint Viewer using the Windows 'Start' menu:
1] Click the 'Start' button to display the Windows 'Start' menu.
Start menu
2] Select 'Run...' from the Windows 'Start' menu. (The Run dialog box appears.)
3] Enter the following in the 'Command Line' box:
C:\<path>\PPTVIEW.EXE
(where C: is the drive letter of the disk where the PowerPoint viewer is stored, <path> is the full directory path to the PowerPoint viewer on that drive, and PPTVIEW.EXE is the executable program file).
4] Click 'OK'. (The PowerPoint Viewer opens.)
2) Select 'Play Lists (*.lst)' from the 'List Files of Type' drop-down list box.
3) Select the directory in which the desired play list file exists from the 'Directories' list box.
4) Enter the name of the play list (.LST) to view in the 'File Name' box.
5) (Optional) To restart the show list at the beginning once it reaches the end, check the 'Loop Continuously Until 'Esc'' check box.
NOTE: If this check box IS checked, the viewer runs continuously until ESC is pressed. If this check box is NOT checked, the viewer returns to the 'PowerPoint Viewer' dialog box when the show is over.
6) (Optional) To use the set timings rather than a manual click to move to the next slide, check the 'Use Automatic Timings' check box.
7) Click 'Show'.
NOTE: Press ESC at any time to stop the show and return to the 'PowerPoint Viewer' dialog box.
8) Click 'Quit' to exit the PowerPoint Viewer when the slide show is over.
