From what Steve has said, it sounds like all the other VBA books (and
there are several--I have used the McFedries book): lots about VB and VBA
with other apps and very little about interfacing with the PowerPoint in
SlideShow mode. The McFedries book doesn't even mention that; it is
mainly about how to make it easier to create presentations, not how to
use VBA while the presentation is running.
