Shutting off the click

[Heather]

I am the person who asked about shutting off the click for powerpoint on
2/16/06, and I wanted to tell you what I have learned. I followed the advice
by Troy@TLC creative, and placed the slide show on kiosk mode, which worked
wonderfully. I then ran into the problem that John Wilson described, of
having it also shut off all of the animations that were dependent on the
click. I got around this by adding a duplicate slide. The first one
hyperlinked to the second, so that the action would not start until the user
initiated the action. Then I put all of my animations on the second slide,
and set them up to activate "With previous", so that they started when the
slide started. This way, the user doesn't even realize that the slide has
switched. It worked wonderfully! Thanks!
By the way, I read all the alternate ending to Choose Your Own Adventure
books also- that's how I know people are inclined to cheat if I let them!

Nice trick, Heather. Thanks for following up with your resolution!

Thanks - I'll be using that little trick!

Now that is sneaky! I'm adding that to by list of tricks! (I've been at a
client's for the last two days, so I didn't respond to the original post. My
way would have been to put the whole set of animations in a triggered
sequence instead of an on click sequence, but this is much cleaner!)
