New user to PP and created a PP slide show and saved it. When I open the
saved copy, the PP Help task pane opens when the presentation opens. How do
I remove or save the PP without the task pane?

When you open reset your toolbar options. Try View, Toolbars, Customize. In
the toolbars tab, turn the taskpane off by de-selecting the checkbox. It
won't come on by default anymore.
Also, to toggle the taskpane quickly, the keyboard shortcut is CTRL+F1.

Hi Lulu
Did you do one of the online training courses & create the presentation from
the practice file? If so I'm not sure how to turn off the behaviour, but I
would try opening a new blank presentation and insert -> slides from file ->
tick 'keep source fromatting' -> insert all. If you are using 2007 click on
the 'new slide' drop down & select 'reuse slides'.
Let us know if that works :-)
