Hello Power Point Specialists,

i have the job to make a special powerpoint prensentation for educatinal
purposes. The situation is as followed:

Normaly each slide follows each other by clicking a key, a mouse button or
time controlled. For my application it's neccessary to interrupt the
"following mechnism". I want to force the user of this presentation to go
back from a defined position in the presentation to another sheet.

For this is i remove the tick from the "choose box" where i can select how
to go to the next sheet (with a mouseclick or time controlled). Fine, this
prevents the user to go to the next sheet by a mouseclick. But now the
presentation of the information on this sheet is also interrupted. All the
information that should slide in does not, as lon the tick is removed from
the box.

How can i prevent people from using the navigation keys and how can i
determine which way a user of the presentation can or have to go?

I know, that Powerpoint actually is not the best choice for such a project
but probably there is a way i didn't tried and another software (such as an
authoring tool) isn't available.

Does anyone have some good ideas?

Best regards and many thanks,

Stefan
 
You can control the flow by setting the presentation up to run as a KIOSK.
This requires all animations to be timed (since mouse clicks are disabled).
You also have to provide navigation buttons for the user to move around the
presentation. Click "Slide Show", "Set up show", then click "Browsed as a
KIOSK". The only thing that works is the ESC key (to get out of Slide Show
mode).
