"Print" Button

[Galsaba]

I want to add a "print" button to my presentation that will print the entire
presentation.
How to do it?

You could use launch.exe and use the print verb in your link. Of course it
will require that the user has a default printer. See

I thought about a Command Button, that on click it will execute a vba script.
This VBA script will be a command to click.

I know, for example, in Access, the command will be:
doCmd.printOut

Why make it complicated? Create a button, select it, go to Slide Show >
Action Settings > Run Program and type"

launch.exe print yourfile.ppt

How are you planning to distribute your presentation? Will users all have
PowerPoint installed on their system?

Visit www.pptfaq.com
Near the top of the page, you'll find a link to Programming PowerPoint. Follow
that.

And while PowerPoint's help could use a lot of ... well ... help, it's not such
a bad place to start. Press Alt+F11 to go to the VBA IDE (editor) then fire up
the help from there.
