I am trying to setup a standard lesson plan presentation. I want to have a
fixed number of slides. On these slides there are certain areas on the slides
which remain the same. There are areas on the same slide where the
information within areas each time is selected from a list.

Ideally I would like to be able to insert an indexed group of words. How can
this be done? I can retrict areas of a spreadsheet but do not seem to be able
to restrict access of areas within a Powerpoint slide or slideshow.
 
You could place these words on your slide master if you want the exact words
to be the same from slide to slide (or create multiple masters if the words
vary). This does not make the text uneditable (since your students can access
the master), but less likely to be accessed. Not sure if this is what you
want, but I thought I'd give it a try...

PPT doesn't really offer this option. But you could create your slides with
just the "locked" information, then export the slide as a PNG image (File, Save
As, Files of type: PNG) and reimport the PNG to a new slide and add your
"unlocked" content atop that.
