MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Locking a Slide
Is there a way to lock a slide to only show when the entire presentation has been viewed? Basically to keep people from jumping to the last slide of a presentation. If you want to control how people move through a presentation the best way is to choose kiosk mode and provide action buttons for navigation. Slide show > set up show > browsed at a kiosk Be aware though that you cannot have on click animations eitherbut you can have triggers  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Is there a way to lock a slide to only show when the entire presentation has > been viewed?

Two ways to skin this cat. <g> One is to use Kiosk mode but it has a serious disadvantage in that if the person viewing stays on one slide too long the presentation will automatically restart from the beginning. Option two, which I like much better, is to go to slide sorter view and uncheck both "advance on mouse click" and "advance after x seconds". This effectively leaves them no way to advance the presentation at all. You will need to place navigation buttons (or any object) on the slide and then associate a hyperlink to the object to "next slide". (Right click the object you inserted and select action settings.) If desired, you may set a custom animation to the object such as "Appear" with a delay. In this way you can force the slide to be seen by the person viewing it for an appropriate amount of time.

The problem with the no click/ no auto transitions is that the client can use the keyboard (arrows, space, enter etc to navigate and slide number + enter to jump around the presentation.)
