Wow, you received some great suggestions to your "do not touch" query. My concern is that the effectiveness of the message (no matter how you choose to phrase it) will be compromised because it appears at the end of a lengthy PowerPoint presentation. No matter what age, I'm not sure you'll have anyone's undivided attention after 80(!) slides. If you decide that the "do not touch" message is important to convey, then you may wish to edit down some other portion of the presentation in order to give the message the "screen time" that it deserves.

The "museum rules" slide is the last slide after a pretty lengthy presentation (about 80 slides), so the message needs to be brief. Any great ideas out there you can share? Thanks!
