In a presentation, at the place I have a triggered shape coming after,
if I click there, I would like no action.  Do you know how I can get
that : if I click on the place there is a triggered shape is unvisible
that nothing happen, and that it does not go to next slide.  thank you

Having trouble working out what you mean - maybe if you used "no fill" to get
the invisible trigger shape try 99% transparent instead (from "more fill
colours" menu)

Did that answer the question / help?

Vero,
It sounds to me like you have given the shape an appear animation and you
don't want it clickable until after it has appeared. If this is the case,
here is a way to do it:
1) Drag the shape off the slide.
2) Give the shape a motion path entrance that ends where you want it.
3) Set the speed of the motion path to very fast or to .01 seconds
4) Set the motion path animation to be triggered

This way, the shape isn't on the slide to intercept the click.
