Hi all,

I have created a presentation, but if i want to go to a previous slide I
have to click the right mouse button, or the back arrow key twice to return!
This is very awkward as I have to keep jumping back and forth to compare
graphs and this is toooooo slow!

Thanks for any help you can send.

Do you have any custom animations on the slide on which you have to
press backwards twice?
From a more stylistic point of view, it's probably better to bring both
graphs on the same slide and compare them there instead of constantly
flipping back and forth.

Actually no it wont be better to have the both on the same slide. I need it
so i press back and forth and it shows the same graph basically overlaid, but
with slight variations.

Anyway, it still does this for all slides. I have no animation at all. It
is just text and pics. I always have to press twice to click back to the
previous page. Sometimes you have to go bakc when someone asks a question,
and pressing twice for every slide is stupid, but i am not sure why it is
doing it.

Kind regards Bec

Do you have a slide design picked. Some slide designs contain animations.
That would account for this happening on every slide. Try picking a blank
slide design (go to Format>Slide Design and choose the blank one) and see
if the problem goes away. If that is it and you like the slide design,
then you can still use it, but you will want to remove the animation by
going to View > Master > Slide Master and getting rid of the custom
animations there.

One trick is to keep a list of the slide numbers that have your graphs and
use the number keys on your keyboard to move between the slides. (For
example, to go to slide 4, you would press the 4 key on your keyboard and
then the enter key.)

Another trick is to add links between your slides. Add a small shape on each
slide that is hyperlinked to the slide it needs to be compared to. When you
are ready to swap back and forth, click the shape and you will switch
slides.

Would either of those options do what you need?
