Is there any way to set up a hyperlinked action button on
a slide so that a viewer can just click on it to print
the page that it's on? I am packaging presentations on
CD's that have information on slides that I would like
viewers to be able to print. Thanks!
 
Packaging to CD suggests you will be using the PowerPoint Viewer. If this
is the case, then ...

No, command buttons will not be enabled
No, macros will not function

The full version of PowerPoint will allow these features.

I do not know of any hyperlink command that enables printing, but hey, it
could happen. I'm sure it would fire up a hyperlink warning screen on the
viewer.


But, when using the viewer, you can print the screens (1 slide per page) by
right-clicking and select print from the menu that pops up.

Hello Steve,

PowerPoint does not provide an option to Print via Action Settings.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) thinks that is important for
PowerPoint support additiona actions through the Action Settings interface
(such as "print this slide"), don't forget to send your feedback to
Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

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)
