Hyperlinking to Print a Document within Kiosk

[DesireeH]

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.

I've created a game in 2007 PowerPoint that will help students review
vocabulary. The last slide of the show has two boxes labelled "know" and
"need to know" as well as the vocab words that are located between the boxes.
Students are supposed to use drag and drop to put the words in the boxes in
order to think about what words they still might need to review after they
have completed the game. I want them to be able to print out this slide in
order to study. However, I need to run the rest of the show in kiosk.
Otherwise, students could just move forward in the show to find out what the
correct answers are without really playing the game. I would like to be able
to insert a hyperlink on this last slide that will direct them to whatever
printer their computer is connected to in order to print their last slide
after they have put the words in the boxes. Or, I would like to know how to
apply kiosk view to every slide except the last slide. Please help.

So, you're using drag and drop. Does that mean you are using VBA? If so, you
can simply write a simple script to print the last slide. For example, to
print slide 6, you need:

Sub PrintResults()
ActivePresentation.PrintOptions.OutputType = ppPrintOutputSlides
ActivePresentation.PrintOut From:=6, To:=6
End Sub

I'm pretty sure I'm using VBA. So, how do I write a script? What icons do I
need to click on and such? I'm kind of a beginner.
