Powerpoint 2003 - Resume Ppt Show From Current Slide?

[Cmitchell]

We're doing a powerpoint that has many slides in it. We have to come out of it twice - once to play a video on you tube & second time to play a "Windows Live Movie Maker" slide show with music.

We need to know if there is a way of playing the remainder of the Powerpoint show from the existing slide, (i.e. from where we've had to click on a link or stop it to play the other things mentioned above)

Ideally I would import both so that do not have to leave powerpoint show at all however, Importing 1st video would be possible but Importing the second video is NOT AN OPTION ( because of linked files with photos in and it being on different machine etc etc & not having time to do it in the am before the show!) so was wondering can we resume powerpoint show from where it was left. I'm sure this used to exist on earlier versions of PPT!!

Many many thanks in advance

Hi, I work on an early version of Powerpoint, and I can right click and pause the presentation. I'd do that, show the other things in a different window, then right click again and restart. It may, of course, be that you've though of that and that the geniuses at Microsoft have removed that facility. I don't know that.

Good luck with it.
