How do I get PowerPoint automatically to close after last slide. I know how
to close the show, but I need to autoclose PowerPoint.

XP Pro SP2

MS PowerPoint 2002 SP3

As far as i know power point application object doesnt have Quit method like
word and excel. So I personaly just kill ppt process everytime instead. I
know its risky but its one way to go!

If you save the presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.pps), your presentation
will open up in slide show view instead of normal mode. Similarly, you won't
see PowerPoint when closing the show. To save as pps, click File > Save As.
Under save as type, click on the dropdown menu, look for PowerPoint Show
.pps.
