MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006Using Macros to end PPS - can this be done, if so how?
I have just found out that I can not use a continuous loop and end a show on a time or specified duration. However, I am wondering if I can use a macro to start and end a show? Again, I am not talking about slide transition; I am talking about the complete show (presentation). Doable? Yes, but... what is going to fire the VBA code? A timer?

I prefer this over an abrupt ending of a slide show so I can use the last slide to exit gracefully.

Thank You Austin. I have not attempted to apply macros, could you give me a step by step of what you are suggesting here: "you might use the "SlideShowWindows(1).View.Last" statement.

From the menu select, Insert > Module In the module paste this: Sub Macro1() SlideShowWindows(1).View.Last End Sub That will do it, now all you need do is determine how or what will fire the macro off.

I pasted this, ran my macro and recieved this error: run-time error '-214788160 (80048241': slideshowWindows (unknnown member): Interger out of range. 1 is not in the valid range of 1 to 0.

The macro's intended to run when the presentation's in slide show view. Try adding an action button, assign it a Run Macro action and have it run this macro. Start the show, click the button. > Please advise > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > >> >> > I > > >> >> > am talking about the complete show (presentation). ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thank you this worked, one last question where do I put the amount of time I want this slide to run or when I want it to end? Could you give me an example? > > I pasted this, ran my macro and recieved this error: run-time error > > '-214788160 (80048241': slideshowWindows (unknnown member): Interger out of [quoted text clipped - 67 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ |
