SYMPTOMS

When you show presentations with the PowerPoint Viewer using a playlist, the show may stop after the first presentation if you press the ESC key to cancel any dialog box or menu.

This problem occurs with the PowerPoint Viewers that ship with PowerPoint 4.0 and PowerPoint for Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, do not use the ESC key to cancel dialog boxes or menus before running your slide show.
