after creating a presentation & burning on cd how do my customers.

[Dan]

I'm using PPT 2003, but this should still work. I
essentially add a button with a macro that prints the
current slide. I'm not sure this will work with just the
viewer, so you may have to test it out.

Another problem is that the button to be added would
appear on the printout, which you may not want. I'm
waiting for a response to my question posted below that
possibly will answer that dilemma.

However, here's what I have done:

Create an action button labeled "Print this page" on the
Master Slide. Then add this macro and link the button to
the macro.

Sub PrintSlide()
'
' Button macro to print current slide
'
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintCurrent
End With
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
End Sub

This should let anyone viewing the presentation to print
the current slide. Give it a shot!

Macros are not supported by the Viewer.

Whoops! Sorry about that.

[Any thoughts on how to hide an object from printing? Is
that possible?]

Unfortunately, the Viewer doesn't run macros. You need the full version
of PowerPoint for that. By the way, I posted an answer to your "hide the
button" query at the other thread. I hope it works for you.

I think that Dave has offered a suggestion.

Whoops! Sorry about that.
