There's nothing I can find, John.

I keep discovering more things to hate about PowerPoint 2000! Now I find that if I run a slide-show the 'View' menu appears on-screen and I can't get rid of it without closing the slide-show. How clever is that?

I can't see any advantage in 2000, so I definitely intend to try to change to '97 tomorrow, though from what I can find online it looks like it may be easier said than done.

Steve.

P.S. In fact the 'View' menu problem occurs when running a slide show from a macro in another presentation, not when I run the slide show directly in its own presentation. Complicated!
