OK, before dismissing this right way check out the following: GoogleVideo

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.

Manny,

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.
