I have created a single slide "loading" animation in a PowerPoint slide that
is the front end of a larger internet loaded PowerPoint show. I have
successfully embedded an object representing the larger show, which
auto-launches from the "loading" PowerPoint file, however, I need the
"loading" PowerPoint file to exit as soon as the larger file loads. This
could be at the end of a time limit (e.g. 20 seconds) or otherwise.
Currently the "loading" PowerPoint file remains open in the background, and
if I press the Escape key to exit the main PowerPoint show it returns me to
the "loading" PowerPoint file, which then reloads the main show again in a
loop (which I can easily break by continuing to press the Esc key until both
exit).
Please advise if there is a way to 'auto-quit' a PowerPoint show so that one
the "loading" PowerPoint show completes opening the larger show it exits.
Thank you.

P.S. I've read on some posts that renaming the file to .pps or saving it as
a .pps would have this effect, but having done so it does not do so.
