Unfortunately, what you are experiencing is the way that it works. When you
start a presentation, it honors the setting (e.g. Kiosk mode). When you link
to a presentation from an other presentation, it ignores the setting in the
linked presentation and follows the setting of the presentation that started
the chain of links. It can be quite annoying at times. I don't know of any
way around this.

Hi,

Hope you can help... this is concerns a problem I'm having with the 'Set Up
Show' options.

Is there a way to link from a PPT created in 'Presented by a speaker' mode
to one created with 'Browse at a kiosk' mode and retain the restricted kiosk
mode navigation?

Currently I have several PPTs created in kiosk mode which work as expected
when launched individually. However, if launched from a hyperlink in another
PPT all kiosk mode features are lost and the user can navigate via keyboard
and right mouse click.

I need to keep the main hyperlinking PPT in 'Presented by speaker' mode due
to it linking to lots of other files that allow navigation via keyboard and
mouse clicks.

Thanks in advance
