Re: "Resume Slideshow" button is missing

[Chirag]

Do the following:
1. Click "Office Button" on the top-left.
2. Click "PowerPoint Options" button.
3. Select "Customize" in the left pane.
4. Select "Commands Not in the Ribbon" in "Choose commands from" box.
5. Locate and select "Resume Slide Show" command.
6. Click "Add>>" button and then the "OK" button.

This would get you the Resume Slide Show button on the QAT. Although not the
same thing as showing the "Slide Show" toolbar again but clicking this
button would get you back to the slide show.

Run this wee bit of VBA, it should solve your PowerPoint's shenanigans.

Sub ResumeResumePopUpBar()
Dim oTool As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
For Each oTool In Application.CommandBars
If oTool.Name = "Slide Show" Then
oTool.Visible = True
End If
Next
End Sub

The code wouldn't reset the visibility for some reason. I had to run the
code in the debugger and add the tool object to a watch window, single-step,
and then change the Visible property to True.

The button is back. It's just a little thing, but it was making me crazy
that I couldn't find a check-box in the application that would re-enable it.

Thanks for the help.
