How can I run a PowerPoint presentation in a Windows Form? I don't need to
do anything except run it. I can't use the MS PowerPoint viewer because that
opens in a separate window.

TIA - Jeff.

I haven't tested this but:

Process.Start("PPT File Name");

should do it.

You could capture a "movie" of the presentation by means of a program
such as Camtasia Studio. The movie can then be played in various ways, for
instance, you could use a WebBrowser control embedded in the Form to display
a page that plays the movie.

Have you tried to open it in the webbrowsercontrol or the richtextbox?

That would just start PowerPoint in a separate window.
