PowerPoint 2013 - Kiosk Mode with Touch Enabled - Touch does not work with Mouse Click Action Configured on Text Boxes

When I create a PPT 2013 presentation with my Surface RT tablet that has touch mode enabled and has text Boxes labeled with menu selections with a mouse click action to go to a slide within the presentation based upon what the user chooses in the menu of the first slide. I am able to trigger the action with a mouse or touch.  When I enable kiosk mode, I loose the touch capability, only the mouse works.

I want to create a kiosk presentation with PowerPoint 2013 that has touch capability to start on the first slide via a menu with multiple paths in my PowerPoint presentation based on what the user wants to see and then have it return back to the first slide.

Also noticed, that if the user holds their finger down on the screen long enough over the presentation, PowerPoint will show controls on the bottom (left/right arrows, close, etc.)  The close button works and this is not good.  This is the case when saving as a PPSX file or within PowerPoint using preview.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Carl

    Dear needhelpwithcomputerintexas, 

    I too am having this problem on an inspiron computer 23" all in one touch screen that I'm trying to use for a tshirt decal browser kiosk.  I am having the same problem Carl is.  My slides are in wide format 16:9 and the touch function works in presenter view but not in kiosk mode.  I've used custom action buttons with textboxes overlaying them also hyperlinked to the same address as the action buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I could not find anything where it says it is not supposed to work.

    Can you provide more information on how exactly you have setup the slides.
