I've got an action button on a PPT slide set to run the following:

*%HOMEPATH%\My Documents\notepad.exe*

Run in Slide Show mode, PPT complains that it cannot find *%HOMEPATH%\My
Documents\notepad.exe*. Why can't PPT deal with system variables?

I can think of two workarounds, but wondered if any of you had some other
bright ideas.

Thanks
