PPT03: How to open embedded files while in presentation (PPS) mod

[Juan Carlos Colin]

I have seen lots of embedded files in PowerPoint presentations. The
problem is that everytime I see someone "opening" an embedded file, the
person has to go out of Show Mode (i.e. clicking Escape), back into Edit Mode
and only then the person can double-click the Icon of the embedded file, so
that it opens.
I would like to know if there is a way to open the embedded file while in
Show Mode (i.e. Execute a PPS file, advance through slides and open a PDF
embedded file contained in page 5 of the PPS file).
Thank you.

Thanks Steve. This is exactly what I was trying to do. I now know something
that I've seen many individuals fight with.
