My PowerPoint has some animations that are started by timing and some that
are started by clicking. I need to send this to several managers to show at a
meeting. In trial runs the users become click happy and will click before the
previous animation is finished.

Is there a setting to ignore mouse clicks while an animation is running?
Thanks
 
Nope. There's no easy way to do it. Workarounds such as kiosk mode (Slide
Show > Set up Show) should helps. However, it will disable all clicks. You
can then
add an invisible rectangle (set to 99% transparency) that will hyperlink to
the next slide or as a trigger to continue with the animations. Again, the
process is cumbersome unless all the animations on the slide are started
automatically.
