Is this for security purposes or idiot-proofing? I'm afraid you are
going to have a hard time letting people into Normal View while trying
to stay secure. My suggestion was an idiot-proofing one, not a security
one. If you want security, you could password protect the VBA code and
have the presentation have one slide with one button that says "Click
here." That button runs VBA code that creates the entire presentation on
the fly. I guess you would also have to trap the Escape key so that when
the Escape key is pressed, all the slides are deleted.
