Run slideshow then exit

[John]

Hi,

I'm creating an Intranet site and trying to include links to a couple of
powerpoint presentations. When I click on the link, the presentation
runs (in IE) but it doesn't exit after 1 pass through. It keeps looping.

I want to click on the link on the web page, have it run through the
slideshow once, then exit back to the web page that called it. I'm
assuming I'm going to have to monkey around with some VBA code to do
this. I've tried turning off/on the 'black slide' at the end, as well as
unchecking the checkbox to automatically advance at the end of the last
slide. No joy. Using PowerPoint 2003, IE v6 on WinXP.

Suggestions appreciated!

Thanks.

John

If the PowerPoint presentations were set up to loop until Esc is pressed in
the original presentation. This will carry through when published to a web
page.
