Hyperlink Use/Tracking Question

I use a menu page with the links taking people to sections in the
presentation. Buttons with action settings advance through each section and
the last button returns them to the menu where they can choose another
section. The last section, Wrap Up, includes a button to end the
presentation. I like using the menu because it makes everything more
interactive and allows people to review a section again if they feel they
need to but there is some concern that people could just jump to the Wrap Up
section and bypass the others. Is there any way to track if a user has
viewed each section and alert them if they have skipped a section?

Using PPT 2002, Windows XP.

Thanks!
 
OK. Since you mention the VBA option, you can look for an example of what
Steve is talking about at my site:

You would want to look at Examples 7.10 and 7.11 (click on "Examples by
Chapter" and "Chapter 7").

If VBA is an option, you could set things up so that the user'd have to click
on a Next button at the end of say, Section A before the button on the Menu
that takes them to Section B becomes visible.

Or you could get more complex with it and track whether they've visited each
slide.
