MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007repeating animation with hyperlinks
the problem i am having has to do with hyperlinks and repeating slides. most of the slides in my presentation have mumerous hyperlinks. some of these hyperlinks are directed to take me back to slides i've been at. however, i have been realizeing that if a slide has already palyed, than when i hyperlink to that slide, that animation and preset times will not play again. i need to know how to get the animation and preset times to work as many times as i view the slide. is this possible, or am i stuck?  SignatureWindows Microsoft Office 2003 The trick to re-setting the animations to their starting positions is to 'advance into' the slide. Therefore you can place a blank slide with a 0 second auto advance ion front of the slide and link to it. It will automatically advance into intended slide and reset all the animations. I would also recommend hiding this blank slide to keep it from interfering with the slide transitions.

The typical method for doing this is to put a blank slide right before the slide with animations. This blank slide should be set to automatically tranistion to the next slide after 0 seconds. All hyperlinks should point to the blank slide. --David SignatureDavid M.

Thanks Bill, Thanks David, i didn't think of that. Thanks a lot it will really help. SignatureWindows Microsoft Office 2003 You might want to look at the method of using custom shows as well (there's a tutorial on these pages) Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk Sometimes using a blank slide is not a good idea eg if you want to return to the slide you hyperlinked from as " last slide viewed" will not take you there but to the blank slide.
