PowerPoint Viewer 2003 - Changing mode

Guest

Does anyone know of a way to turn off "Full Screen / Kiosk" mode in
PowerPoint Viewer 2003?

I have an C# application that calls a PowerPoint file to be displayed via a
Microsoft Web Browser component.
When either PowerPoint (full version) or Viewer 97 is installed on the
client machine the presentation will display within the component. If Viewer
2003 is installed though the file won't display in the component, but rather
PowerPoint 2003 opens up seperately and displays the file in Full screen /
kiosk mode.

None of the published command line flags offer an option to turn off Kiosk
mode.

Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Shane

Can't be done, so far as I know. The viewer, unlike PPT itself, plays full
screen, period.

It's possible to "host" an instance of PPT on a userform from VB (I believe
there are some code examples at http://skp.mvps.org). Perhaps this can be done
with the viewer too.
