Hi tomw,
I don't know if you've got the answer to this sorted out yet, but in case others are having problems, this might help.
From what I gather of the problem you are having, you are not controlling the PowerPoint show from within Zionworx. In the File/Preferences option in ZW, go to the PowerPoint tab and click in both of the boxes to enable PowerPoint support and to load PPT presentations when a playlist is loaded.
Use the main ZW PowerPoint tab to open your presentations and save them in your play list (this can be done ahead of time, when you pick the songs you will be singing.)
Now when you finish singing a song and want to move to the PPT show you just make that item in the play list active (Make it the current item, just as you move to the next song in your list) and the slide show will start automatically - no PPT menus, desktops etc will be displayed. You can control the slides in the show from the ZW PowerPoint tab - or use a remote control just as people do for presentations without Zionworx.
Hope this helps,
Steve
