Hello,

Could someone point me in the right direction on how I can use a MS-Office
application within Media Center?

I have searched through the newsgroups and web regarding this. I have found
some really good information, but I have not been able to put it all
together to do what it is I want to do.

Ideally, I would like to select 'More Programs' from the Media Center menu
system, click on a link that I created and have PowerPoint open, either
within the framework of Media Center or open and maximize PowerPoint and
then when I close the PowerPoint application, the focus immediately goes
back to a maximized Media Center.

Are there step by step instructions somewhere on this. I do not have Visual
Studio to use for this. I can code a bit which I'm sure I'll need, but do
not have the big tools to make it easy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time on this!

Tony
