I am making an Interactive CD and I do not want the user to advance the slide
with the up and down arrows. I know how to disable the mouse click, but how
do you disable the up and down arrows? If I make an interactive test, the
user now will be able to arrow down to get the answer. I need to disable it.
I want the presentation to be hyperlink driven only. Help!

Kaedydid,
Have you tried kiosk mode?
Go to Slide Show - Set up Show - on the left click presented in a kiosk.
The only way to navigate through your presentation will be by providing
navigation buttons/hyperlinks so that the user can click on them. The only
thing still working will be the Escape button.

Thank you, Luc! I would have never known to use the kiosk presentation. I
have never used a kiosk like that so it would never have occured to me to use
that button. I looked and looked in the Help and nothing even came close to
telling me how to do it. Thank you, thank you!
