There is some ability to trap events. I believe Steve's talked about
that in his post. But, it appears that you got your solution. Chirag
came through with an add-in.

Thanks very much.
Too bad all navigation would need to be through links.
It would be much better if the page up/down keys could be used.
Is there no way to get control in a VBA program on a page up/down
keystroke or to otherwise get contol on page transitions?

First, you would need to make all navigation happen through links.
Then, each button that goes to the next slide or another slide will
have to use VBA, e.g.:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next

or

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlid e 7

Then the procedures that contain those lines would also have to track
every slide that is gone to. I picture two variables: an array of
integers that has the slide number of each slide in it; and a counter
to count where you are in the array. Each click of a navigation
button would put the next slide's number in the array location in the
number held by the counter. A back button would simply subtract one
from the counter and go to that number instead.

Now that I describe it, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to
do.
