Minimize PP during slide show.

[Wi11y13]

I am stilll trying to incorporate the ability for a user taking an on-line
training course written in Powerpoint to have the ability to minimize the
slide show by hitting a button. This is in case they are in the middle of the
training at their desk and someother priority activity takes precedent. They
could just exit the slide show but then they would need to start from the
beginning as there is no way to remember where they were in the show.

It seems like the "Window" key along with the D key does exactly what I am
looking for. Is there a way to simulate in the macro these 2 keystrokes? I
thinnk it would be a "sendkeys" function but I can not seem to get it to work
and I have had trouble finding how to simulate the "Window" key. I believe it
is probably the same as the "option" key.

Thanks for any help.

It doesn't do you any good to start a new posting in the newsgroup.
Continue to follow the thread you created 9-24. If there aren't any further
posts there, no one can help you further.

Sorry - I am new to this site and this application. It is very important to
us to get this to work and it seems like it "should" be fairly simple, I am
just able to figure it out. I was afraid that people would have stopped
following the other thread since they were not really involved and maybe
missed the thread that stated I was still having trouble. I will consider
myself properly chastised and it will not occur again.

Of course I meant that I have NOT been able to figure it out yet. Sorry for
the typo.

Just in case anyone is interested - in PP2007 if you go to the "slide show"
tab and click on "Set Up Slide Show", there is a control box for "Show Type".
Within that box if you select "Browsed by an individual (window)" then your
slide show will run with the the minimize button at the top, along with the
start and task bar at the bottom.
