PPS and Printing - need more details

[Guest]

Hello Team,

I have first searched the forum for the answers to my question. What I would
like to do, is from the pps (slideshow) itself. I would like to click a
button and the 1.) current slideshow prints and / or the 2.) whole
presentation prints. There was a posting of this recently and the answer to
it was manually open powerpoint and then open the file and print from there.
This is not what i need.

Now, I've read that a macro can do this, but the codes i've copied from the
web sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It is also based on 2000. We are
running on 2003 ( i think )

So question.

Is it possible to print directly from the .pps file whilst it's it's playing
on a slideshow? If so, could you please somehow show me how this is done?

This is possible with VBA. It shouldn't make a difference for this whether
you're using 2000 or 2003. Since you have already tried something that didn't
work, it might be better for you to post the code you tried and describe when
it works and when it doesn't (if you know) and what happens when it doesn't
work. That way, we'll avoid posting the some code that didn't work for you.
