Annoying new presentations

[Iggles14]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I do all my work on a laptop, and I seldom shut it or my applications down. So PPT is open most of the time.

When I finish working on a presentation, I close the file and hide the application. When I come back to PPT (or Word or Excel), the application opens a new presentation for me. Since I almost never want a new presentation, I have to close it and then open the one I want.

I realize that I could avoid this by opening the file that I want with the Finder, but most of the time, the file that I want is on the list of recently used files, so going straight to the application is easier.

Is there anyway to make PPT stop opening new presentations?

Hi,

PowerPoint only creates a new presentation when you click on the Dock
icon; if you switch to PowerPoint using the Cmd+tab keyboard shortcut,
it won't do it.

Cool. Thanks.
