Hiding Powerpoint

Is there any way to hide powerpoint while updating a presentation? Unlike
Excel, powerpoint doesn't like: ppApp.visible = False. Excel hides itself, my
VB application gives me a runtime error. Also, powerpoint doesn't seem to
respond to ppApp.Quit. It remains open and has to be closed by the user.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can automate PPT w/o making it visible, but it does place a few limits on
what you can do (you can't select anything, for example). It should to .Quit
but w/o seeing the code in question, it's anybody's guess as to why it doesn't.
