As Steve mentions, since the Presentation file will be emailed to others, it
may end up being printed from the viewer and not from the full program. If
this is the case, all VBA solutions will simply not be available.
Sooooo ...
Lets examine the non-VBA solutions open to you.
1) Create a blank white rectangle over the entire slide that is animated to
appear when it is clicked. This is called a self-triggered object. With a
self triggered object set to appear, it is impossible to make the object
visible in a slide show (since it is not available to be clicked on unless
it is clicked on). Therefore it becomes a mask for the contents underneath
it. This will still print as a page, but it will be a blank page.
2) Modify the presentation to incorporate the non-printing slide's elements
onto the previous slide. For example, by having all the elements of the
previous slide fade out, you are left with the appearance of a new blank
slide.
3) Insert a Slide Show into you slide show. If you create the non-printing
slide in a separate presentation and insert it as an animated object on
another slide, you can also give the appearance of a new slide, without
there actually being a new slide in the presentation.
If you need additional explanation of any of these points that have been
made, don't be shy. We really do like to help interested people.
