Default "lock' ppt bacground so that only links advance presentation

I am making a PPT in a question and answer format. I want to freeze or lock
the background so that the show will only adavnce by clicking on the links I
have created. Presently, it advances to the next slide if I click anywhere on
the background.

Hi,

Right-click the slide, and select "slide transition".

A menu will appear, and there is a section entitled "Advance slide".

Unselect "on mouse click". You can also chose the option of applying this
to all the slides.

I found that they are still able to move on to the next slide by using the
arrow buttons on the keyboard. So this only de-activates the mouse click...

Choose Slide Show, Set Up Show and select Kiosk mode.

That should be all there is to it.
