Is there a way to catch in automated program a run presentation event?
i was able to catch slideShowBegin, but what i need is an event that
will allow me to do things from my Addin before the presentation
actually starts.

any ideas?

Sub Auto_Open

What do you need to do?

Would it suffice to include a blank/black slide at the beginning of the
presentation to give you a little time to do whatever tasks are necessary?

I want to identify the event in an Addin that i have written, i already
know how to catch events as SlideShowBegin etc.. but i would like to
remove and insert pictures to the presentation before it starts to run.

the SlideShowBegin is to late for me because then the pictures i intend
to remove, are seen. i need a pre process that will remove them

thanks

That's why I asked about a "dummy" blank first slide. From the viewer's point
of view, nothing's happened yet. Internally, your addin has trapped the
SlideShowBegin event and gone to work.
