Linking PowerPoint file from Word
Hello,
I have made a link to a PowerPoint file from Word using Insert/Object/Create from file/Display as icon etc. This works OK but leaves the Word doc open. Is there any way of closing the Word file after selecting the link? VBA would be no use as I am putting the files onto a CD and then using PowerPoint Viewer which does not support macros. Cheers Geoff |

Linking PowerPoint file from Word
Hi Geoff,
I have made a link to a PowerPoint file from Word using Insert/Object/Create from file/Display as icon etc. This works OK but leaves the Word doc open. Is there any way of closing the Word file after selecting the link? By clicking the Close button... There's certainly no automatic way, short of VBA.

I guess I should have added that when the Word doc is accessed from a PowerPoint slide and the use then selects the link to a ppt file, you can no longer see the Word doc.

Hi Geoff,
ah ah! I guess I should have added that when the Word doc is accessed from a PowerPoint slide and the use then selects the link to a ppt file, you can no longer see the Word doc. Yeah, that would have made a difference in my answer :-) Now I have to ask you 1. Version of Office 2. The exact steps for this scenario, so that we can try to reproduce it 3. Whether you've asked this in a powerpoint group already, in case someone there has experience with the scenario Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

The exact steps for this scenario, so that we can try to reproduce it well - I have a series of ppt files which act as menus - they have hyperlinks on them which link to ppt files. One of these might have a link to a Word doc. The Word doc has a link to a ppt file. Double clicking on this link runs the ppt file but the Word file can no longer be seen and is left open. one option of course is to make a link in the ppt file back to the Word doc and then it can be closed in the normal way but I was just wondering it there is any way to close the Word doc automatically after the user has moved to the linked ppt file? NB this is using the Viewer not PPT itself. Cheers Geoff 3.

Linking PowerPoint file from Word
Hi Geoff,
Not easily reproducible... Have you asked this in a Powerpoint group, where the people would be more likely to have all the "bits and pieces" necessary to research this? I can't imagine why the Word application window would completely disappear from the Windows UI, just by clicking a hyperlink. Hidden by starting a slide show, yes. But there might be something about the PPT technology involved in everything you're doing that's coming into play here. Ah ah! I guess I should have added that when the Word doc is accessed from a PowerPoint slide and the use then selects the link to a ppt file, you can no longer see the Word doc.
