Preventing Mouse scrolling

[Russ Lipp]

Is there a way to prevent a user from scrolling through
the PowerPoint slides using the mouse scroll wheel? Our
slide presenation is designed on proceeding through the
show using action buttons. Using the mouse scrolling wheel
circumvents this sequencing. Appreciate any help.

"Slide Show" menu, "Set up show", click the "Browsed at a KIOSK" option.
The only key that will work is the ESC key to exit the slide show. Keep in
mind that buttons MUST be provided to move between slides AND all animations
must be set to "After Previous" or "With Previous" (basically timed
animations) since "On Click" will not work anymore.

Choose Slide Show, Set Up Show and pick Kiosk mode.
That disables the usual manual navigation tricks (keyboard, mouse click,
scrollwheel and so on).

Clicks on navigation buttons and links that you provide will still work

User can also tab from one action setting or link to the next and press Enter
when the one they want to activate is highlighted

Other than that, the only other thing active is the ESC key (and Shyam Pillai
has a NoEscape addin at http://www.mvps.org/skp to disable it if you need to.)
