how to get PP to return to a running program

[john30022]

Hi - thanks for your help!

I have a PP presentation with a hyperlink to a software application program (an example would be a tax preperation software). When I am finished showing students the tax software I can minimize it and I am back to the powerpoint slideshow.

Several more times during the PP slideshow I would like to return to the software application at the point where I left off.

If I continue to use hyperlinks to open the software application it is a slow process and takes some time for the program to run.



Is there a way I can use a hyperlink the first time - then minimize the software application - continue with the slide presentation - then go back to the application that I had minimized (where i left off).

Your help is appreciated.
