Printing inside of a powerpoint slide

I have a question concerning powerpoint and I hope someone understands what
I'm trying to do and if it's possible. I'll try my best to explain in
simplistic terms

Say I have one ppt presentation with one slide titled "caring for your new
puppy"
on that slide I have the following list:

1. Feeding your puppy.
2. Exercising with your puppy.
3. Training your puppy.

Now, all three sections are hyperlinks to other ppt presentations. Like
"feeding your puppy" is hyperlinked to a ppt presentation about feeding your
puppy... "Exercising with your puppy" is hyperlinked to another ppt
presentation about exercise with your puppy and so on....
The linked ppt presentations are slide show only, so that the slide show can
be seen and then when finished it takes you back to the main ppt presentation
entitled "caring for your new puppy" and users can flip flop between
presentations.
My issue is since the hyperlinked ppt presentations are slide show only mode
and not editable, is there a way to have the potential to print out the
hyperlinked presentations that are only in a slide show mode? and if so how
does one go about that?
I have it now where the hyperlinked presentations can be printed to a PDF
but was wondering if there was a way to do it inside of powerpoint instead of
printing to a pdf.
ANY information on this problem would be greatly appreciated and
welcomed. I thank everyone for the knowledge and support.
If anyone needs further info, just let me know.

Thanks In Advance.

If I have it right, you want it set up so that I could be viewing the
presentation, click the link to "Exercising with your puppy" and while looking
at that sub-presentation, print it.

Like that?

What about VBA? A simple macro could print the current presentation.
 
What I want to accomplish is this.

I have the main page with hyperlinks.
If I click on the "Feeding your new puppy" text on the main PPT slide, it
would hyperlink to a slideshow of feeding your puppy. Once the ppt slideshow
on "feeding your puppy" finished, it would take me to the main screen with
the original link on it.
( If you need further understanding, draw it out on paper.)

Basically I have a link to a ppt presentation in a slide. I clink the
hyperlink and it takes me to a slideshow. Once the slideshow is over, I'm
back to the main screen where the hyperlink to the slideshow I just viewed
is. My question is this: After viewing the slideshow ppt and returning to
the main screen, is there a way to print out the slideshow ppt I just viewed?
Now...the slideshow I just viewed isn't editable what so ever.
.....it's like making a ppt an executable. NOT editable in anyway. The ppt
presentation plays, then it's over. I want to print an executable ppt
presentation but don't know if it's possible to print, meaning can I print a
slideshow that has been made an executable file? and if so how? Can I do it
from the main presentation that I have created with the hyperlink to the
executable ppt to print the executable ppt presentation? That's what I would
like to do but not sure how and if it's possible.
 
Steve,

Thanks for the reply but having a hard time finding the article.
support.microsoft.com - nothing found.
Tried the main www.microsoft.com same result.
Could you possibly paste the entire link? or further direction?

Thanks again!

If you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications, aka macros) in your
presentation(s) then probably so. But ...
Now...the slideshow I just viewed isn't editable what so ever.

presentation plays, then it's over. I want to print an executable ppt
presentation but don't know if it's possible to print, meaning can I print a

How has it been made executable/uneditable?

And would it be acceptable to print from within the sub-presentation rather than
from the main one?

And is this something that needs to happen automatically or will the user click a
button or something to fire off the printout?
