In slide view the cursor automatically moves slides when it goes over a
slide. How do I turn this off?

Hi,

If you mean in slide show mode, the only way I know that this "mouse-over"
effct could possibly be happening is if a hidden object is covering the slide
and has an action setting to jump to another slide on mouse-over. I have a
tutorial that tells you how to do it at:
http://www.powerpointmagician.com/articles/mouseoverheat.htm

To check your presentation, in edit mode, go to one of the slides and click
anywhere on the slide. Hit the tab key to cycle through selecting the
objects on the slide. If there's a hidden (invisible) object you'll see it
when it gets selected. Deleting it should take care of your problem, but
you'll have to repeat fo each slide.

It doesn't do that normally, so I guess you'll need to tell us more about the
problem. What version of PowerPoint are you using? By Slide View, do you mean
that Normal view, or Slide Sorter view or Slide Show view? Where is it moving
them too? Do you mean that it is reordering them or advancing to the next
slide? Maybe your mouse button is stuck? Are you moving the scroll wheel? Is
this happening with all presentations or just one. Lots of questions.
