Exiting PowerPoint Show

[BryanM]

I have put together a PP presentation in XP. The show is actually
linked via an eLearning developers program called toolbook. So the
web-based elearning opens up and when you click the link the PP show
opens. The problem I am having is that, when the user clicks the exit
button (which is hyperlinked to "End Show") nothing happens. I want
the PP show to close sending the learner back to the eLearning
program.

Is there any way I can get the program to exit without putting in a
VBA code. If not, does anyone know a code for this function?

Thank you,
Bryan

What does Toolbook do? Does it convert the PPT to HTML or some other format?
Or does it provide a link to a PPT or PPS file? Do you view the result in PPT
or the viewer or in a browser?

================================================

Toolbook opens the PPS file but it uses the broswer to view it.
Meaning that, even though the show is set up to be viewed at kisok,
the learner can still scroll throught the PP show without clicking the
next button because there is now a scroll bar.

I hope I stated that clera enough.

Yes, thanks.

I don't know of anything you can do, really, other than maybe put instrux on the
last slide telling the user to close the browser window themselves (and perhaps set
the link TO the PPS to open in a new window, if that's possible with Toolbook.)

If Toolbook accepts HTML as well as PPT there are other options that involve using
third party software to convert your presentation from PPT to HTML that works more
like you want it to.
