3003 Viewer "Options"?

In PowerPoint we deselect "end with black slide".

But when we watch our presentation on other PCs using the
2003 viewer, we get the black slide at the end of the
show. I do not see menu options in the viewer.

Anyway we can avoid the black screen when using the
viewer??

Thanks,
 
Unfortunately that option is at the application level, not the presentation
level, and the Viewer does not offer any control over the black screen.
However, if you place a button on the last slide and link it to End Show,
you will not get a black screen. You can also right click on any slide and
select End Show. And, as always, Escape will close the presentation without
a black screen.

Hello,

PowerPoint Viewer 2003 will always display a black side at the end of a
presentation file. There is no option to prevent this. One workaround is to
disable advance on mouse click for the last slides of your linked
presentations and, instead, include an Action Button on the last slide for
ending that presentation.

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that the
PowerPoint Viewer provide an option to not show a black slide at the end of
a presentation, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:
