When you insert an action button a dialogue box
will pop up, this can be either on the action of
a mouse click or when you pass over the object.

Removing the advance on click
Normally in a PP presentation a click anywhere on
the screen will advance the slides. When using
Action Buttons to create a MPN you need to remove
this.
1. Click on slide show and then slide transition
2. Make sure that advance slide on mouse click or
automatically are both deselected, apply this to
all slides.
