Is there a program to do this?

Question

Basically we want the ability to edit information and have it displayed on another computer on our network. This easiest way for me to explain is like an auto updating powerpoint viewer.

It does not need to be a slide show for people will be reading off of this like cue cards.

Answer 2

You can try Google Documents. It will auto update when you edit a file. We currently use it at my company to update employees on jobs.

Answer 3

I would recommend keeping it web based. Keeps it simple, accessible and easy to use security that your office already has.



I work in with business intelligence and I can create dashboards that auto refresh, but that is probably overkill for your situation
