Command line or script...

[M. Murcek]

What's the syntax for starting a specific PowerPoint presentation from a
command line or script. What I want is something that can be inserted as a
hyperlink in a document that will call POWERPNT.EXE with the specific
PRESENTATION file and whatever arguments are needed to launch directly into
SLIDE SHOW mode. I figure it has to look something like:

"C:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftOffice\OFFICE11\POWERPNT.EXE
C:\Presentations\DskTp\present.ppt /args"

I say something like this, cause this, specifically don't get it.

Any guidance would be heartily appreciated!

If you save the file as a PPS (instead of PPT) and then just link to the file
itself it should play automatically if PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer is
installed on the PC.

Thank you. I was making it harder than it needs to be.
