pause commands while displaying

I have a macro which inserts some objects, then displays the slideshow, then
deletes the objects. problem: it's not waiting till after the slideshow to
delete the objects. i'm guessing there's a simple way to tell it to wait
until the slideshow is over before continuing through the macro, just don't
know how. Do you?

thanks

Sub Wait()
waitTime = 60
Start = Timer
While Timer Start + waitTime
DoEvents
Wend
End Sub

Sub Mainstuff()
"your code here"
Wait
"rest of code here"
End sub

As long as you're looking at event handlers, you could have the end slide show
event trigger the code that deletes the objects.
