Locking a Slide

[Guest]

Is there a way to lock a slide to only show when the entire presentation has
been viewed? Basically to keep people from jumping to the last slide of a
presentation.

If you want to control how people move through a presentation the best way is
to choose kiosk mode and provide action buttons for navigation.

Slide show > set up show > browsed at a kiosk

Be aware though that you cannot have on click animations eitherbut you can
have triggers

Did that answer the question / help?

Two ways to skin this cat. <g> One is to use Kiosk mode but it has a
serious disadvantage in that if the person viewing stays on one slide too
long the presentation will automatically restart from the beginning.

Option two, which I like much better, is to go to slide sorter view and
uncheck both "advance on mouse click" and "advance after x seconds". This
effectively leaves them no way to advance the presentation at all. You will
need to place navigation buttons (or any object) on the slide and then
associate a hyperlink to the object to "next slide". (Right click the
object you inserted and select action settings.) If desired, you may set a
custom animation to the object such as "Appear" with a delay. In this way
you can force the slide to be seen by the person viewing it for an
appropriate amount of time.

I think the restart after 5 minutes feature was removed in XP, in any case 5
minutes inactivity was a long time! The problem with the no click/ no auto
transitions is that the client can use the keyboard (arrows, space, enter etc
to navigate and slide number + enter to jump around the presentation.)
