PPT98: Viewer Will Not Use Kiosk Settings in Presentation (194988)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q194988 SUMMARY
When you create a Kiosk mode presentation and attempt to play it from the
PowerPoint 98 viewer, you may find that the functions for the arrow keys
and the space bar on the keyboard will still be available.
It is understood that when you run a PowerPoint presentation in
kiosk mode, it will not allow anything but the mouse and the controls
on the slides to be available to the user. In kiosk mode the keyboard will
normally be disabled with the exception of the ESC key, which allows the
users to exit the presentation.
On the PowerPoint 98 Viewer there is a check box that enables password
protection on a presentation being run from the viewer called "Password
Lock Slide Show". This function is to prevent the presentation from exiting
the Slide Show without the use of a password. By enabling this option on
the viewer, you will be disabling the arrow and space bar keys. This option
was not designed to perform as a kiosk mode; however, it can be used as a
workaround to lock a presentation in PowerPoint 98 viewer and using Kiosk
settings.
