Short of selecting the slides you don't want then deleting them and saving
this new presentation. There are ways around something like this that the
average user would have no idea how to get around. For example, you could
save your entire presentation as a PPS file. In this presentation have a
menu slide that has titles and action buttons that run Custom Shows of the
selected slides you want (actually under the "Slide Show" menu). Also under
the Slide Show menu is an option for "Set up show". Here you can set your
presentation to be run as a KIOSK. This takes away all navigation
capabilities except for the buttons you provide. By creating a simple
action button on your first slide that goes to the next slide and
copying/pasting it on all slides, you will provide the controls to move on,
but your menu slide restricts them to only use the Custom Shows (and
therefore slides) that you want them to see. However, if someone knows
enough about PowerPoint they will realize they can open PowerPoint first
then open any PPS file and it will open in edit mode. If you really want to
secure a presentation there are options, but it is just as simple to create
a separate presentation of the slides you want.
Hope this helps (and makes sense). Holler back if you need more info.
