Hi

Usually, when a Powerpoint presentation is shown and user presses up/down arrow or page up/down button, the presentation will go to the next/previous slide. But to some slide, I want when reaching that slide, the presentation will stick to that slide and don't go to the previous or the next slide even if user clicks the up/down arrow button or page up/down button. Is there any way to do this? Thanks

David,

Are you wanting to only allow the mouse to control and presentation?

If so....slideshow menu > set up show....> tick "kiosk" mode

Hello,

To change this default behavior on a per-slide basis, simply uncheck the
option to advance on mouse click for the Slide Transition setting for those
slides that you want to restrict in this way.

1) On slide you want to make this change choose the "Slide Show -> Slide
Transition" command
2) In the task pane or dialog (depending on version of PowerPoint) uncheck
the option to advance slide "On mouse click"
3) If using PowerPoint 2000 or earlier, click the "Apply" button.
