HOWTO: Menu to Control Multi-PPS??

[Steve]

Hi...

I have 10 presentations... turned them into .PPS... turned off the "Black
Slide at End"... created an AUTORUN.INF to start an HTML module for user to
select which slideshow(s) on a CD. I need help with a couple of
"difficulties":

1. Running a .PPS manually ends as desired... but running it from my little
HTML module and it ends with "the Black Slide" thingy

2. Regardless, it doesn't "return" to my HTML module so the user can select
another.

Anyone have an idea?? Anyone know of another way to create such a
front-end??

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Steve,

The 'end with black' slide setting is a per-pc setting and not a
per-presentation setting.

I'd go with some kind of interactive menu front end like this tutorial
describes

TAJ...

NOW THAT IS SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!! You hit the nail right on the head with the
a perfect solution!!! AND... since it uses PowerPoint... my "Master Slide"
(backgrounds, etc) match the entire series of tutorials (presentations)!

You definitely earned your "MVP" title on MY issue!!!!!!!!
Thanks again,
Steve

Steve,

Thanks for the thanks - yeah it is neat. (big head!)

It means that powerpoint never has more than 2 presentations open. And you
can quickly end one presentation to get to the next one - by pressing either
the Home key to go to the last slide - or Esc to quit the current
presentation.
