Hi, I can see how to hide almost all the parts of the Player, even to remove the "PREV" and "NEXT" labels from the buttons, but I can't seem to hide the buttons themselves.
My goal is a "bare" slide that just looks like a single seamless graphic, preferably with no trace of the Player at all.
You won't be able to hide the buttons from the Player Options, but you can hide them from your slides, even your question slides.
You can do this in either Story View or Slide view.
In Story View, select a single or multiple slides. In the lower right-hand pane you should see the Slide Properties. Here, you can disable the "Next" and "Previous" Buttons.
In Slide View, click on the cogwheel for the main layer of your slide. It'll be pretty similar here - just uncheck the "Next" and "Previous" buttons. This method may take a little longer, since you won't be able to modify multiple slides.
To hide the previous and/or next buttons for all slides in your course, open your file in Story View press Ctrl+A to select all the slides then uncheck one or both boxes in the Properties panel on the right side of the window.
Hello Victoria - Looks like Wendy has popped in to assist you here, but I wanted to be sure to share this tutorial on slide properties as well in case helpful to you or someone else that may happen upon this thread.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Forest,
Just use the "Gear" icon on Base Layer bottom-right and un-highlight them if you want them on some slides.

THANK YOU GUYS!!!
My problem is with Presenter 13. How do I get rid of the prev and next. Please don't tell me I can't! That's too unfriendly!

Must be done one-by-one in slide properties? Why can't it be eliminated from the player like the other controls?
MT, see here for info on how to turn on/off the Prev/Next buttons for a specific slide, a group of slides or all slides: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/managing-slide-properties.aspx
Thanks Michael - I knew you could do it but could not see it!
Do you have to hide PREV and NEXT on every slide? Is there a global function to hide all?
Hi Vickie
