I've built a menu driven presentation in powerpoint, using hyperlinks.

But how can I control the user from just clicking anywhere on the screen and
moving on the the next slide?

The next slide in the organisation of slides is not necessarily the next
slide the viewer should see.

Go to slide show > set up show and choose "browsed at a kiosk" Make sure that
you have hyperlink buttons on all slides!

Did that answer the question / help?

John,

I think I am correct in saying that this will not work if you put the
files onto a CD and use the Viewer?

Cheers

Kiosk mode works with the Viewer.

David,

You are correct - my mistake - sorry.

I think I was confusing this with a hope I once had that the kiosk
mode with Viewer would prevent the arrival of black screen with the
"end of slide show, click to exit" message - which it does not.

Cheers

Geoff
