I need to know how to disable the keyboard during the presentation because I don’t really want people to skip around the PowerPoint but rather interact with it. I just want to disable the buttons that let’s people move around slides such as the arrow keys and the space bar.

    Here’s an option that would mostly disable the keyboard, and disable built-in mouse navigation.
    These instructions are for Powerpoint 2007 or 2010:

    1. Go to the Slide Show tab.
    2. Select Set Up Slide Show.
    3. Under Show Type, select Browsed at Kiosk (full screen).
    4. Hit OK.

    Note:
    Once the slideshow is started the only key that will do anything is Esc, which will end the show.
    A standard mouse click will no longer advance slides, you will need to use VBA, Hyperlinks, or timers to advance slides.

    For more information, here are instructions on creating and distributing a self-running PowerPoint presentation.
