PPT2000 Navigation & HTML Question

Clicking on a link in my website opens a new browser
window which contains a PPT2000 presentation. On the
bottom of the last slide I want to include a link which
closes the (presentation) window.

1. Can I accomplish this task in PPT itself (although
there doesn't seem to be any option for including a code,
other than hyperlinking), or, do I need to save the
presentation in web format and then tweak the
corresponding htm-file for the last slide?

2. If I need to mess with the web file, what code do I
need to include, to close the window?

Thanks a bunch in advance for suggestions.

I expect you'd need to tweak the HTML. Or if you don't need animations,
have a look at our PPT2HTML addin, which pretty much lets you make PPT
create any HTML you want. www.rdpslides.com/ppt2html/ (commercial addin,
but there's a free full-featured demo available there)
2. If I need to mess with the web file, what code do I
need to include, to close the window?

This will give you a text link that'll close the window when clicked.

<a href="javascript:self.close()">Close the window</a>

I forget the exact rules, but if it's the original browser window in the
current browser session, the user will get a prompt asking whether it's ok
to close the window. If the current window was created otherwise, it
should just close.
