Why can¡¯t record the macro of ¡°Full Screen¡± from the context menu of PPT in the show type of ¡°Br

[kfengbest]

Hi all,

Open a ppt file, click on ¡°Slide Show¡±-> "Set up Slide Show¡±, in the
¡°Set up Show¡± dialog, Select the option of ¡°Browsed by an individual
(window)¡± then press F5 to show slide in presentation mode.

What strange is, when start the macro recorder, right click to popup the
context menu and click on ¡°Full Screen¡± item, I could not get any macro
recorded!!

Does anybody know why and give some suggestion?

It is importance for me because I have to implement a customized menu with
one menu item is also called ¡°Full Screen¡±. It should have the same
behavior as in the context menu in ¡°Browsed by an individual (window)¡±.

BTW, if set the show type option with ¡°Presented by a speaker (full
screen)¡±, then I could record the macro as follow. But it is not the show
type what I wanted.

With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
.ShowType = ppShowTypeSpeaker
.Run
End With

Any suggestion is appreciated !

The macro recorder does not work in many situations. MS just ran out
of development time and chose to spend their develeopment resources in
other places. See if this is what you want?

Option Explicit

Sub Test()
With ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings
.ShowType = ppShowTypeWindow
.Run
End With
End Sub
