I've turned off black screens at Options menu - works fine for main file -
but I still get black screen at end of 2nd, 3rd, 4th file when returning to
1st file after having navigated via hyperlinks in the 1st file...how can I
eliminate this?

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for.
There will always be an intermediate black screen while the first slide of
a hyperlinked to presentation is loaded. When you are linking to another
presentation it's like following a link in a web browser. The page is wiped
clean and the new page loaded. The black screen is wiping the page clean
before the new page is loaded.

This does happen when you use embedded presentation objects (OLE), but you
lose some of the flexibility that hyperlinking provides.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide more options for chaining multiple presentation files together
smoothly during slide show, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN
WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
