Hope somebody can help!

I've created a powerpoint to use as a random selector, set the timings as 00.00 and set as a continuous loop. So basically the powerpoint screens quickly flick through the slides on pp, the only way I can stop to make a random selection is to press Esc. ( which makes the presentaion revert back to the pp software, IYGWIM)

Is there any way I can set up to pause my loop using mouse/keyboard?

Thanks
