"Hide" hidden slides so they can be seen at all
Hello,
I would like to utilize this 'Custom Shows' option (using PPT 2003). I know how it works and I've set up presentations that display specific slides in a specific order. Thing is, I would ALSO like to email this presentation to multiple groups. Each group has their own Custom Show...so I only want them to see the slides that I've set up in their Custom Show. However, when the open the attachment, the Normal View of PowerPoint allows them to see all the slides. They actually have to run the presentation to see my Custom Show. Is there a way to prevent people from seeing these 'hidden' slides when looking at the Normal or Slide Sorter Views of PowerPoint? I thought about saving as a .PPS, but anyone can just change the extension to .PPT. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid having to save multiple presentations for each group. Thanks everyone! |

You could put a password on the file, but they'll still be able to open it
read-only and see the slides. Another option might be SecurePack. http://skp.mvps.org/securepack/index.htm -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Access Joe" wrote in message ...

I don't know that there is a native way. We have a pretty cheap Add In that
can do this which you might like to consider. http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/Custom-Cut.html There's a no quibble 30 day money back if it doesn't do what we say so no risk! -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Access Joe" wrote: Hello, I would like to utilize this 'Custom Shows' option (using PPT 2003).

You could ....
Password protect the file Add a black rectangle on top of all slide contents Add a trigger to make the rectangle appear when it is clicked (in other words it can't be made to show during a show) This will not hide the slide from the end-user, but will mostly mask the contents of it. -- Bill Dilworth A proud member of the Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. http://billdilworth.mvps.org -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ vestprog2@ Please read the PowerPoint FAQ pages. yahoo.
