Preventing printing of presentation

[Aerojade]

How can i add a addin to a powerpoint presentation(using the VB macro Editor)
to prevent the powerpoint presentaion from being printed. In word i am able
to do this by adding the function FilePrint() in the macroand assinging my
own code in it. In excel i am able to do this by placing the follwing
function in ThisWorkbook... Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) and
placing my own code in the function. How do i do this in Powerpoint. Note...i
have to do this in the macro VB editor. Please help. Thankyou.

If you distributing the presentation as a SlideShow (pps or ppsx) then ...

You could insert a black square over the entire slide that is set to appear
when it is clicked (self triggered). This way the black square would never
appear during the show but would block printing. Unfortunately, this makes
editing difficult, since everything is hidden in edit mode. However, when
they go to print it, they will get nothing but black pages.

This is a VERY low level of security that can easily be bypassed, but may
keep novices out of your slides.
