RE: Automatic closedown of PowerPoint show

What we need is the automatic closedown of the Powerpoint SHOW (* And I'm not
screaming; just emphasizing! :o) *)
Let me explain: I open a presentation from a Delphi application and don't
want the last message, in the black background, to be shown. I know I have
the option of returning to the first slide in a loop till ESC is pressed, but
that is not what I need either...
Any idea of how I could make the presentation stop after the last slide
without showing that unpleasant message?

Thanks again!
:o)

When you saved it as a PPS, did you close it and open it again? When you
double-click on a PPS file it opens in Show View and exits PowerPoint
entirely when the show is done. However, if you open a PPS from within
PowerPoint, it opens in Normal/Edit View and returns to Normal/Edit View
after running the show.

I have exactly the same problem and saving the file as a PPS didn't
work. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

If you save as a powerpoint show *.pps (*.ppsx in 2007) it will do
this if you strat by double clicking the icon. You will need to
scroll down in the 'save as type' box to find this option.
