Microsoft PowerPoint 2010
Stop Accidentally Showing the Popup Menu During Slide Shows
SUMMARY: If you don't need to annotate nor skip through a PowerPoint 2010 slide show, prevent the popup menu from appearing by accident.
By default, whenever you hit the right mouse button while displaying a slide show in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, a popup menu appears. From here you can perform a variety of tasks such as jumping to a particular slide, blanking the screen, and changing the mouse pointer type so you can annotate the text.
If you do not need this functionality and only hit the right mouse button by accident, having this menu appear may be an annoyance and make your presentation seem less professional. Thus you can prevent it from happening by performing the following tweak:
1. Select the "File" tab in the Ribbon.
2. The Microsoft Office Backstage View appears. Click the "Options" button.
(Or instead of steps 1 and 2, press Alt + T, then the letter O.)
3. The "PowerPoint Options" dialog box appears. Click "Advanced" in the left pane.
4. Underneath "Slide Show" (you may have to scroll down to see this section), uncheck "Show menu on right mouse click").
5. Click "OK" on the bottom-right of the dialog box to close it.
