MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2006simultaneous slide shows
I want to bring up extraneous slides during a presentation I am assisting with as joke on the presenter. i want the transition to be seamless and rapid. For example, if he says something not funny, I want to flash a LAUGH sign up very quickly. To right click and bring up the index of slides will be too obvious and slow. I am thinking that something like simultaneous slide shows with a quick <ALT TAB> type function would be good. I can bring up the extra slide like that, but it isn't in Slide Show format. Does such a capability exist? I think your best bet is to have a few hidden slides for which you memorize the slide numbers. The slides will have a 99% transparent shape over the entire slide with an Action Setting to hyperlink to Last Slide Viewed (for easy return). All you have to do is type in the slide numbers and hit Enter to go to those slides. Click anywhere to return. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Rather than a Hyperlink, use the Action Settings. You will see that option under the hyperlink area of Actions Settings (right-click on your object and choose Action Settings). This is one of the weird things about PowerPoint that I always find annoying. Two different ways to do almost exactly the same thing with two totally different interfaces and slightly different features. I'm sure there are historical reasons for why this is so, but it bugs me from a user interface standpoint. --David SignatureDavid M.

One weird feature I ran into - when I set up the action setting to last slide viewed, it changed the font color on my hidden slide (from black to yellow). I am using some yellow background on some of my slides (from a template). I just changed the color of my background. Thanks a lot for the help!!

As well as a large shape you could use an action button - last slide viewed (which could be invisible or even off slide) To get back press alt then enter which should "operate" the button. Keeps everything keyboard! SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > David, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > that, but it isn't in Slide Show format.

It's interesting - to me, at least - that after about 15 years or so of using the Internet, I still get excited about the opportunity for not only people around the country, but people around the world to jump in and help with small issues such as this. Thank you!
