I am into PowerPoint Automation.

I need to have a custom splash screen for PowerPoint. I need to know how can
I show a bmp file (or any image file) as a splash screen when PowerPoint is
launched?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt you can legally modify that.

However, perhaps you could start your own application with its own splash
screen. It could launch PPT invisibly, then after a period of time make PPT
visible (there'd be no splash screen) and then quit.
 
Thanks for the reply Steve.

But, forgive my ignorance, I am not sure how can I incoporate my app to show
the splash screen. I thought that I can make an app (using VB6) to show a
splash sreen and then call that app from an addin (which is autoloaded when
PPT App starts). But, then I was in a dilemma where to put the code to call
my splash app (.exe file). In what even shud I write the code? Or there is
some other method to do so?

Thanks in advance.

I think you might have to launch YOUR app, let it display a splash screen, and
behind the scenes invoke PowerPoint. If your addin does the work, I suspect it
wouldn't even load until after/during the time PPT is displaying its own splash
screen.
