Hi,
I am using PPT XP. I have several custom shows in one main presentation (has
to be one presentation). The custom shows are all different. Each custom show
consists of one slide that has a series of images that are animated. The
scrollwheel on the mouse moves through these images - forward and back.

My problem is that I would like the custom show to end ONLY when a button to
end show is clicked. Right now if someone is too fast on the scrollwheel, the
presentation advances. Looping the presentation seems only to be able to deal
with 1 custom show. I also tried putting some further animations - with
timing- on the slide but that does not seem to help either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Martha

How about disabling left click on the last slide of the custom show?
To do so, go to the last slide, click Slide Show > Slide Transition.
Under advance slide, uncheck on mouse click.

Unchecking the option will disable only mouse click, not scrollwheels. My
apologies. However, if you do not want the custom show to end unless a button
is clicked, you will need to either loop it, or set it to kiosk mode (Slide
show > Set Up Show).

Looping it only seems to work if I have only 1 custom show - I have 8. I
thought of Kiosk mode, but am unable to manually advance the slides using it.
