I would like to build a presentation that will my special-
needs son to "read" books by himself. I scan in the
pages of a book we own that he enjoys, and then record
narration for each slide, by simply reading the words on
that page. He has difficulty pressing and releasing a
button, and often just holds it down. To help him improve
his ability to press and release, I would like to force
him to listen to the entire narration for each page
before allowing him to press the space bar to advance to
the next page. I see how Powerpoint allows you to
advance the page based on timing or click, whichever
comes first, but how about whichever comes last?
Thanks,
Steve
 
Hello Steve,

Wonderful idea and effort for your son. The solution is fairly easy. Set up
your slideshow and under slide transition set the appropriate timing.
UNCHECK the "on mouse click" option. Go to SLIDE SHOW >> SET UP SHOW and
check BROWSED AT A KIOSK (FULL SCREEN). Now the slideshow will only advance
based on the slide transition timings (ie. will not advance with mouse or
keyboard clicks).
