PowerPoint Viewer 2003

[Guest]

I have a Ppt presentation which uses action buttons to access the internet. I
use the Ppt viewer to present the slideshow and each time I use an action
button on a slide to access the internet a warning beep sounds and a pop-up
message about getting a possible virus by accessing the internet appears and
the notices are quite annoying. Anyone know any way of disabling them???

AFAIK you can't disable the warning messages if you are using the viewer -

That is just TOO imbecilic of it. It doesn't happen in the full version of PPT,
but give the lawyers time, they'll fix that too, I'm sure. :-(

Would it be practical to give the presentation as an Acrobat PDF file or as HTML
in a browser? We have a few (commercial) add-ins that will make this simpler,
but possibly the normal HTML save from PPT itself or (if you have Acrobat) the
toolbar installed by Acrobat in PPT will do the job.
