MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Hyperlink and Return to Show
I have hyperlinked a picture in a slideshow to a hidden slide in the same show. My problem is when I click the hidden slide after viewing it as a hyperlink it takes me to the next slide which is also supposed to be a hidden slide. I want it to take me back to the slide that follows the first hyperlinked slide in the slide show. This is, unfortunately, trickier than it should be. It is not difficult to get the slide to return to the same slide that linked to it, but not easy to get to the next slide. Your best bet is to put the hidden slide in a custom show, and link to the custom show, checking the box for show and return. An alternative is to have a button with an Action Setting linking to Last Slide Viewed. Another alternative is to have a button linking to a specific slide (which could be the slide after the originating slide). --David  SignatureDavid M.

Then, when you set up the hyperlink, don't hyperlink to the slide, hyperlink to the show, and as you set the hyperlink to the custom show, check the box for Show and Return. Alternatively, you could put a 99% transparent box over the entire slide and set the Action Settings for that box to be to Hyperlink to Last Slide Viewed. The disadvantage is that that will only work for mouse clicks, not if someone uses the space bar or arrow keys, etc. --David SignatureDavid M.
