 Perhaps you like me:
 Are provided a company laptop full of Microsoft goodies like MSOffice.
 And
 a) just want to hone your presentation skills in case you need to present something at the next board meeting,
 or/and
 b) need to dim the lights while you are presenting at that big meeting.
 Then you are totally a great employee for goofing around with PowerHome during work hours; and deserve a big, fat raise.
 (How's that for justification?)
 
 Just right-clicked a graphic in a slide and had it send a command to phsscmd.exe.
 
 Only works 1/2 the time for some reason.

          No need to use company resources.

 |  OpenOffice's PowerPoint compatible Impress was able to open/edit/play the slideshow. And for some weird reason the  PowerHome commands have worked every time with Impress.

 You never cease to amaze me
  .  I would have never thought of using PowerPoint as a frontend. 
 If I ever get some spare time, I'll have to play around a little to see what could come of this.
 
 Excellent experiment!
 
 Dave.
