space bar
Hi ! Thanks heaps for your thoughts,
I need to build a new multimedia presentation for a client. The last one they contracted was built by some one else . It was made with macromedia director and they want to keep the same navigation. That is, they want the user to be kept on the menu screens without the use of spacebar and they also want the user to be able to spacebar normally during the linear sequences of screens. Any ideas appreciated , I don't mind using macros or vb if needed. I'm using powerpoint 2003. Cheers "Bill Foley" wrote in message ... Not sure what you mean by "the rest of the screens". Your original post said, "Hi how do you prevent the space bar and the forward/back arrows form working during a presentation". It either works ("Presented by a speaker" or "Browsed by an individual"), or it doesn't (Browsed at a KIOSK). What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Also, provide the version of PowerPoint you are using. That usually helps with specific directions. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "mdev" wrote in message ... Thanks Bill I was wondering how to keep the spacebar working on the rest of the screens? "Bill Foley" wrote in message ... "Slide Show", "Set up show", "Browsed at a kiosk". You MUST also provide navigation buttons to move between slides. Only key that works is the ESC key to quit the slide show. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ "Success, something you measure when you are through succeeding."

space bar
As I mentioned before, it is either all or none. Unless some other VBA guru
knows of some sort of SendKeys command that can disable and enable the spacebar, you are out of luck!

Or break the presentation into multiple presentations and link them
together? -- Sonia, MS PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun CD software, templates, and tutorials http://www.soniacoleman.com/ "Bill Foley" wrote in message ...
