I would like to make a number of resources available within my course, and the Resources feature, with the player link seems perfect. The problem I'm facing is that I also need to use custom navigation. So far, I haven't found a way to show the Resources tab, and hide the player back/next arrows on the player. There are a few possible workarounds, such as a custom resources screen, but I'd really prefer to use the Resources tab if at all possible.
Is anyone aware of a way to show the Resources tab, and hide the player back/next buttons?
When you set up the Player to make the Resources tab available, you automatically get the Prev / Next buttons as well. However, if you go into the individual slide properties (double-click on base layer in bottom right of screen), you have the option to turn off the Prev / Next buttons.
Unfortunately, this is on a slide by slide basis, but would at least give you the result you are after.
I've no doubt that just as you finish all 78, someone else will come up with a one-click solution for the entire project, but I am afraid I haven't discovered that button yet. In the meantime, happy clicking !!! :)
I hate to be the provider of bad tidings and have you running from your office screaming at the top of your voice, but, following your reply above, I have had another look at this and now have a one-click (well, perhaps it's three clicks) solution.
if you go into Slide View, select all the slides you want to change, deselect the Next/Prev buttons in the multiple-slide navigation options at the bottom right of the screen, your problem will be solved.
Look on the bright side, your next 127 slides will be a breeze !! :-)

Thanks so much for the tip, Ned! This is exactly what I am looking for! Well, except for having to do it 78 times for this project ;-)
This will be even more helpful for my next project, however, since I can set up a number of slides and duplicate them.

I am here to report, 127 slides later, that there is NOT a one-click solution to this. Someone really should put this on a wish list somewhere.
