Lock kiosk mode in 2007

[Thomas]

Is it possible to lock the kiosk display mode of a PowerPoint 2007 show so
that users cannot interact with it on the screen?

In what sense? To disable mouse click in the presentation (so that users can
only advance to slides through hyperlinks/buttons)? Or to disable all
interactions including the hyperlinks & buttons?

To disable mouse click, simply click Slide Show > Set up show.
Under show type, select browsed at a kiosk.

If you want to disable all interactions, after setting up the "browsed at a
kiosk", add a 'lock' button (you will need to create one yourself) on the
slide. Then, insert a rectangle that covers the entire slide. Set the
transparency to 99% so that it becomes invisible. You will then need to
create a trigger so that when user clicks on the lock button, everything is
lock up.

For the latter part, I won't go into detail as it will become a little wordy.
But if that is what you want and you need further help, feel free to post
back.
