Microsoft Office PowerPoint? Or there is OpenOffice.Org Impress (can be freely downloaded from OpenOffice.org)

thanks huggy,

powerpoint is an option but im sure there must be other software similar to power point. post offices provide advertising in a similar method im hoping to copy.

I think post office adverts are either flash based or a custom-built application...

Knowing the post office, it will have cost a fortune, used 1980's technology, regularly breakdown, and you've got to phone a helpline and speak to several muppets before you get anywhere.

Saracen post offices use powerpoint, I know, most of them are my customers and I designed the way the remote updating of the screens works.
