Default Is it possible to "lock" a slide

In a presentation I have a slide with several hyperlinks. Is it
possible to "lock" the slide, so the only way to go on from that
slide, is by using one of the hyperlinks? I have removed the
checkmarks from Clik on the Mouse and Automatic, but I can still leave
the slide, using the scrollwheel on the mouse or the arrow keys on the
keyboard?

I can of course use the kiosk mode, but that will prevent the keyboard
and mouse from being used on all slides.

No way to do what you want for one slide other than the methods you already
mentioned. Scroll wheel and arrows will still work even if you remove the
"on mouse click" transition capability.

Hm. I wonder if you could link to another presentation that contains just
that one slide and put it into Kiosk mode. ISTR that doing so will
automatically turn the main deck into a Kiosk mode presentation as well, but
I'm not positive of that. Might be worth a try...

Hi

Thank. I will give it a try tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will put
hyperlinks on all slides, and then put eveyrthing i kiosk mode.
