OK, really simple question - I have a powerpoint presentation. I've set it to 'windowed' in the 'set up show' box in powerpoint, and verified because hitting f5 in powerpoint shows it windowed.

If I use the freely available PowerPoint viewer shows it in fullscreen mode!

Any suggestions on how I can use the viewer to show the presentation windowed?

I have been trying in PowerPoint 2010 to get the viewer to use windowed mode, and as best I can tell it cannot do it. Because it is only a viewer, the rest of the PowerPoint UI that shows in windowed mode does not exist, so it only shows in full screen. I will keep trying, but don't see any way as yet.

I'm not aware of any "Windowed" mode for the PowerPoint Viewer. Pretty sure it'll only support Full Screen Mode, as pointed out due to a lack of a UI.

It doesn't need anything more than a window frame. I.e. Just the title bar. Check out a windowed slideshow running in PowerPoint itself, there are no toolbars etc, just a titlebar.
