Will a regular usb presentation remote work with this for PowerPoints?

Only in conjunction with your lapotop by mirroring the desktop. On it's own the P300 only supports the following media formats: MP4 / MP3 / WMA / OGG / WAV / AVI / BMP / JPG / GIF / TXT. To play a PowerPoint presentation from a USB stick you would need to first save the presentation as a series of JPGs, use the "Save As" function in PowerPoint to do this.

No. The Targus works specifically to advance and reverse powerpoint presentations and has a built in laser pointer.

Yes, according to this page on Logitech's site:http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/presentation_remote/devices/175&cl;=us,en

I have primarily used it with power point but it should work with any of the other programs to forward or reverse the pages

THIS is NOT a Blue-tooth device. Requires the mini-transmitter, but works very well. The built in Laser pointer is a real plus for power point presentations.

You don't need a projector. It works with a desktop or laptop. When you click "next" on the remote, the PowerPoint slide moves to the next slide on your computer.

I called Epson support and was told that the wireless works for things like a photo slideshow, but would not be fast enough for a professional presentation such as Powerpoint. There are also issues with wifi applications if being shown in a hotel for instance.

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.

Yes, ofcourse, It works perfectly!! It's a great slide presentation tool. But I recommend to use It with Keynote. Using it at Powerpoint presentations may cause slide freezing. Actually it happens with anykind of slide presenter. I have a Targus, and even moving the presenter selector switch to Mac-Powerpoint presentation, the freezing happens anyway. So I believe it is a powerpoint issue and not the presenter device.

I finally got it to work with Powerpoint for Mac 2011 and 2008 on Maverick (OSX 10.9) by remapping the forward/backward keys using an app called KeyRemap4MacBook. See my review.

How can I use this for presenting a power point presentation if I can´t connect it to my computer?

Yes. The Toshiba Excite CAN open powerpoint slides. It comes with an application called "Quick Office" (Lite version) which can be used to view ppt presentations.

Yes, it does. As long as that is the active tab, it will work. Additionally, it will work on Google Slides using Chrome OS and even using Chrome OS to stream it to a TV via a Chromecast. This presenter is VERY Chrome/Google friendly! Tested it on both a Chromebook and a Chromebox.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, if you connect it via a USB cable it comes right up. You can also tweak it with the display settings on the computer as well as using the remote for the projector. I use it to teach workshops and it's nice, portable and works great.

1 - You shouldn't have any trouble converting between Microsoft and OpenOffice file formats. Please note though, some people imbed videos in their PPT files and Linux has to jump through a few hoops before it will play well with Apple's and Microsoft's proprietary video formats. Beyond that, you should have zero problems here. 2 - The Eee does indeed have a VGA port and you ought to be able to hook up to any projector you like. 3 - I'm not sure about this, but it may be as simple as using a different keystroke in Impress than the one you would use in PowerPoint.

I don't think so. I have a logitech wireless mouse and I need to put it's own receiver in for it to work. It will not work with the presenter receiver.

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)
