If some of you have worked with earlier versions of PowerPoint then you would be aware that right clicking during a show would take you to the previous slide. This behavior has changed since PowerPoint 97. In PowerPoint 97/2000 clicking the right mouse button displays a list of slide show options. If you rather have the earlier behavior of moving to the previous slide then do the following steps:

On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab. Clear the "Pop-up Menu on Right Mouse Click" check box. Click OK. Clicking the right mouse button now returns the presentation to the previous slide.
