Want to track the status in ppt file

[kirti]

Hello,
I have a ppt file. This ppt file has 10 slides. Each
slide has previous and next button. Last ppt has exit
button. If user sees all 10 ppts then i have to store the
status as completed and if he sees less than 10 ppts i
have to store status incomplete.
I have one exe which starts ppt presentation in
PowerPoint Viewer. But this exe doesn't track the status.
It only starts ppt presentaion.
I have to use this exe to start the ppt presentation
and then check how many slides user has seen.

If you have some skill with VBA, you could write a macro that

- Advances to the next slide
- Writes the slide number/name or other info to a text file, the registry,
wherever as a record
- Might also write the time so you can tell whether the viewer spent enough
time to read the slide or just clicked through quickly

Assign the macro to the NEXT button instead of a next action and you're pretty
much there.
