-======Menu Sequence======  
  
-**Hints and Tips** 
- 
-These notes have been prepared based on a single slide menu. 
- 
-  * You can launch other PTE sequences or any other kind of file by using the Action on mouse click feature found on the Common tab of the O&A window 
-  * Run Slideshow… and Run Slideshow with Return… will both launch a PTE sequence (the target sequence) provided that the target sequence has been Published in the same version of PTE as the Menu sequence 
-  * Run Application or Open File will allow you to launch any other software 
-  * If your target file is an executable (.exe) that application will be launched 
-  * For any other file extension, PTE will work in accordance with the file associations already established by the Windows environment 
-    * For example: on a system with Microsoft Office installed, a file with extension .xls will open in Microsoft Excel 
-  * Run Application and Exit will launch any file, as for Run Application or Open File above but will, in addition, terminate the Menu sequence 
-  * To be able to launch any item off your menu you need to be able to see the mouse pointer. So, in Project Options > Control > Mouse you will need to have Mouse cursor set to either Show or Auto hide. 
-If you are experiencing problems with unexpected closing of the menu when you launch items then, check that in Project Options > Main > Show settings you have set one of the following: 
-   * Repeat show until Esc key is pressed 
-   * When show ends keep last slide in show on screen
