Printing in PPT presentation

[Guest]

I have PPT 2003. I view a presentation using the PowerPoint Viewer 2003.
This presenation has action buttons on each page. "On mouse click" to advance to next slide is turned off. Action buttons are used to navigate through presentation.
When printing slide(right click -> print ) the action buttons are disabled.
One has to right click and "go to slide" to activate them again.

Does anyone know of a work around for this so that a user does not have to "re-activate" the slide.

Thanks

Hey Baffled,

Sorry you are having problems with the PowerPoint viewer program. The
viewer is not the full version of PowerPoint. It's very limited in its
abilities. Think of it as the Windows 98 version of NotePad compared to
Word 2003.

If the user does not have the full version of PowerPoint than this is the
only option for you.

That's a bug in the Viewer I was not aware of, but based on my testing you're
absolutely right. You probably have the best work around. The only other
possibility would be to suggest to users that they not print anything until they
reach the last slide or are ready to exit.
