I am putting work instructions in front of employees with a touch screen.
They will not have a keyboard. If I have a short cut to a power point
presentation on the desk top they simply double tap the sreen and it will
start up. Issue is that it does not start up in slide show mode. Is there
a way I can have the powerpoint open in show mode and/or imped a
macro/hperlink???? in first slide that enables the user to start slide show.

Is there another software that would work better.
Thanks
 
Rename the PPT file using a PPS extension. Or resave it -- File|Save As,
choose PowerPoint Show (*.PPS) from the "save as type" dropdown.
