I have one slide that has 4 images on it that have hyperlinks to another
slide with more detailed information pertaining to each image. I would like
the presentation to return back to the original slide with the 4 images on it
after going to the hyperlinked slide - I cannot figure out how to do this -
can anyone help? I have tried setting up a custom show with the original
slide after each of the hyperlinked slides and it doesnt seem to be working
that way. Thank you in advance!

Hi Alecia

A few ways of doing this but I think the simplest is to add an autoshape
that covers the whole of the 'detail' slides, set it to have no border and no
fill, make sure it is at the front of all other elements and hyperlink it to
the slide with the 4 boxes.

Hope that helps.

You're on the right track with a Custom Show. Make the custom show just the
slide you are linking to. Then, when you set up the hyperlink to the custom
show, click the Show and Return checkbox.
