MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2006Ending a .pps by quitting PowerPoint
You were so much help with my last question, how about this one! I want to put a button in my PowerPoint show to let the user quit viewing. I used the "End" button, but that takes me into the file in PowerPoint. Hitting the Esc key does the same thing. Is there a way to quit PowerPoint entirely with one button in my .pps so the viewer doesn't get into my PowerPoint file? Thanks!! > You were so much help with my last question, how about this one! > I want to put a button in my PowerPoint show to let the user quit viewing.

Normally, doubleclicking a PPS goes right into the show, then quits directly on clicking an End button or hitting Esc. User never sees PPT itself. If you start PPT and then use File, Open to open your PPT or PPS file, it'll just return you to PPT. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Sounds like you may have previously right clicked a .pps file and chosen Open With. Then you must have set up .pps files to be opened with PowerPoint rather than the PPT Viewer. The default is for .pps files to open with the Viewer but you must have changed that. Using Explorer try going to a .pps file, right click, choose Open With, browse to find the Viewer, put a checkmark before "always use this program for this type file?. Now you should be back to the default setting for .pps files to open directly with the PPT Viewer.  SignatureDarrell R.
