Bug Description

PowerPoint Viewer 2010 now opens in a window, rather than full screen as in previous versions. This causes problems with OpenLP's attempts to operate it via the pptviewlib.

Note, if F5 is pressed to make the PPT full screen, then the full screen that appears does appear to be controllable by OpenLP. It does leave the windowed version on the screen however.

Just discovered the /F switch which opens full screen

What are the chances of bringing this forward to 1.9.4?

Depends on how motivated I am. Not even sure if there is a way around it at present and I need to be in the mood to start listening to low level Windows messages!

Just tested this on 2.4 running on Windows 7 and was unable to replicate the issue.
Can anyone else confirm fixed?
