inserted objects to open in maximized windows

[vinderche]

I would like to have the objects that have been inserted into powerpoint to
open full screen instead of having to maximize them manually. I have tried to
save them while in full screen mode but they don't open that way

Which objects, and how did you insert them?

I inserted an excel spredsheet as an file object that could be opened in
powerpoint with the mouse over function and would like it to open full screen
instead of in a window that could be maximized. I have done this with word
documents and have no problem having them open maximized.
Keystrokes used- insert object, create from file, browse for file and insert
it as an icon. Then use the action settings to open it with the mouse over
function.

If you save the file in full screen and then in the action settings, use
Hyperlink to...other file (and navigate to your Excel file) instead of the
Open action, it might be closer to what you want.

To get rid of the hyperlink warning you may see, use these utilities from
