auto-close presentation

[Albert]

Hello,
I'm trying to automaticate a sort of things on my web site, and I want to
show few PPS presentations.
I reach the presentation without any problem, and I would like to auto-close
the full screen presentation window, in order to continue with my automatic
sequence without having to click anywhere.
Exactly what I want is to "remove" the last black screen with the "Press any
key to continue" sentence... i ever want to continue.
I'm trying to do it without converting the presentations to any other
format, e.g. flash. Please tell me if it is the only way to do it.

A part from this, i also wanna know if i can get, from an HTML page (using
javascript, for example), the length (in seconds) of a presentation... I
suppose I can't, because i haven't found any info about this.

Thank you so much in advance!

Albert

I'm not sure about doing this over the Web, but if you go to the Tools
menu, choose Options, click on the View slide and uncheck the box for
ending with a black slide, you can get rid of the black slide. The
problem is that this setting is for a computer, so someone else viewing
your presentation on a different computer will might still see the black
slide.
