after creating a presentation & burning on cd how do my customers.

I created a Cd that has medical information on children and a missing child
poster. If the parent needs to print that poster, they don't want ot print
all 20 pages, they just need that particular slide. they only hav ethe
viewer, so they do not have the luxury of loading and printing the individual
slide from the micro power point software. What do I need to do when setting
up my presentation in order to allow for printing each individual slide they
choose. I work right now with power point 2000.
Thanks

I'm using PPT 2003, but this should still work. I
essentially add a button with a macro that prints the
current slide. I'm not sure this will work with just the
viewer, so you may have to test it out.

Another problem is that the button to be added would
appear on the printout, which you may not want. I'm
waiting for a response to my question posted below that
possibly will answer that dilemma.

However, here's what I have done:

Create an action button labeled "Print this page" on the
Master Slide. Then add this macro and link the button to
the macro.

Sub PrintSlide()
'
' Button macro to print current slide
'
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintCurrent
End With
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
End Sub

This should let anyone viewing the presentation to print
the current slide. Give it a shot!

One thing you could do is create a single slide presentation file with just the
poster. Then you could provide a link to that presentation, including
instructions for right clicking the poster and selecting Print.

Whoops! Sorry about that.

[Any thoughts on how to hide an object from printing? Is
that possible?]

Unfortunately, the Viewer doesn't run macros. You need the full version
of PowerPoint for that. By the way, I posted an answer to your "hide the
button" query at the other thread. I hope it works for you.

I think that Dave has offered a suggestion.

I'd save each individual slide as its own individual Powerpoint presentation.
They can open and print the one they need in the viewer or PPT that way.

Check www.mvps.org/skp for an addin that'll help you export individual slides as
new presentations.
