Is there a way to make a presentation always start at slide one, without
having to change hyperlinks? Say you press the "Slideshow Button" (Start at
current slide) and you can only start from the first slide, and not slide 5.
Is this possible?
 
Disregard my previous post. I misunderstood your question.

F5 should always start at slide 1.
 
Um...not what I meant...Should have said it clearer:

Say that some people want to jump slides. I don't want them to. So they try
to press the "Start at current Slide" (currently, they're on slide 5)
button...and they will always start on slide 1, no matter whgat slide they
are on.
 
No, if they are in edit mode and click start on current slide that is
exactly what will happen. Kind of the very reason MS put it in there as an
option, :-)
 
Is there any way to use custom shows (Only show ____ Custom Show) to do this?
Because I know there is a way!
 
Slide Show > Set Up Show.
Under show slides, select From x to x.
If you have hyperlinks, then From 1 to 1 is alright. You can also disable
mouse clicks to prevent the slideshow from exiting.

Hey Tohlz!!

Is there a way to advance the slides (with the settings From 1 to 1) with
VBA?

because
With SlideShowWindows(1).View
.GotoSlide 2
End With

Doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this?
 
What about saving the Slide Show as a PowerPoint Show (*.pps), so they
might never get into Normal View and will jump right into Slide Show View
at slide 1?

Is this for security purposes or idiot-proofing? I'm afraid you are
going to have a hard time letting people into Normal View while trying
to stay secure. My suggestion was an idiot-proofing one, not a security
one. If you want security, you could password protect the VBA code and
have the presentation have one slide with one button that says "Click
here." That button runs VBA code that creates the entire presentation on
the fly. I guess you would also have to trap the Escape key so that when
the Escape key is pressed, all the slides are deleted.
