1) Can a presentation be set up to open in Slide Show
mode? How?

2) When setting up a presentation to be viewed in Slide
Show
mode, is there a way to allow viewers to override the
custom animations and show all content on the page at
once? Perhaps something I can do with an Action Button
or Hyperlink? Thanks.
 
If you save the presentation as PowerPoint Show (.pps) file, it will open
in Slide Show mode.

If you go to the Slide Show menu, choose Set Up Show, and click the check
box for Show Without Animation, it will have all slides in their ending
states.

Thanks, David. The .pps tip was embarrassingly easy. I
guess if you have PowerPoint open, it will not open to
the Slide Show, but if it's closed, it will.

In terms of the Animation, I'm really trying to give the
viewer the option of seeing each slide animated
or 'opening' all of the animations at once. But I want
them to have this option on a page-by-page basis.

Thanks again.

For the animation, I think the only way you can do this on a slide by
slide basis is with a VBA script, and I'm not sure how easy that would
be. How would the user select which slides to animate and which not?
Would there be two buttons on each slide, one with Next with Animation
and the other with Next Without Animation?
