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.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
