Hi all,

I am working on a learning program, where PPS files are opened from
within an html page (on a CD-ROM).
Now the viewer's browsers open the PPS inside explorer (I know this can
be changed, but only with access to the viewer's PC, which I don't have).
Is there a way to have them open fullscreen anyway?

And how do I program the presentations in such a way, that after the
last slide the calling html page is shown again?
I was thinking of inserting a link to the page, but am not sure how to
configure it: the slides reside on the CD-ROM in
/resources/slides/xxx.pps and the html pages in
/content/xxx/xxx.html. Powerpoint only seems to allow absolute links
which obviously wouldnt work on the CD-ROM.

I also tried a "hyperlink" in the slide that links to "close presentation"
but that didn't work as well.

Thanks for any hints
Alexandra
 
I can't test this for you, but if you drag and drop /resources to /content
so that the presentation is now in /content/resources/slides/xxx.pps, you
should be able to recreate the link from the HTML page to the presentation
and then delete the hyperlink from the presentation to the HTML page and
then add it back in and the link should be "relative" to the location of the
presentation file.

thanks for this info, but unfortunately I have to stick with the
structure...

do you see any other way of closing the presentation after it's finished?
 
Press the Escape key.
