Hi!

I know it's a strange idea and nobody but me will need it.
But is there a possibility to kick an active presentation to the
taskbar in case the user clicks on a special button? (Perhaps using a
program call or hyperlink or something like this?)

Thanks,
Emil
 
Not that I am aware of, Emil. Maybe one of the VBA gurus further up the
food chain than I, know of a way to keep the presentation active, but make
it minimized. Interesting ....

Why not just escape out of the show then restart from current slide?

Use the macro given below to minimize the running slide show. Create a
button on the slides and assign it to run this macro:

---
Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" ( _
ByVal lpClassName As String, _
ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, _
ByVal wParam As Long, _
lParam As Any) As Long
Public Const WM_SYSCOMMAND = &H112&
Public Const SC_MINIMIZE = &HF020&

Sub MinimizeSlideShow()
Dim WH As Long

WH = FindWindow("screenClass", vbNullString)
If WH <> 0 Then
SendMessage WH, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0
End If
End Sub
