MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Starting slide show on a certain slide during a slide show
i need to start a slide show on a certain slide i dont want ot start it from the first slide cuz i have about 170 slides before that're hyperlinked to each otehr, if i were to paste them in other places, they would hyperlink to slides in the beginning of the show which would be the incorrect slides so i am going to keep the 173 slides in teh beginning i need to start the slide show on a slide after those 173 slides im saving it as a slide show, so it needs to start on the slide after the 173 slides so, plz help, i really dont want to hyperlink those 173 slides again! Hi Re-arrange the slides in slide sorter mode - the links should be fine. Probably work on a copy just in case...

Hi How did it not work? Did the links break? I've just tested moving slides about and the hyperlinks didn't break....Probably worth reading this: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00401.htm One solution would be to insert a slide at the beginning, add an autoshape over the whole thing, format it as background, hyperlink it to '1st' slide. You could add text like 'click here to start'.

I can't see why Lucy's suggestion didn't work for you. Depending on exactly what you are trying to do you could mayce make a custom show of all slides from 174 and in slide show >set up show show slides = custom show. Hyperlinks to the first slides should still work.-- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials- http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > 173 slides > > > > so, plz help, i really dont want to hyperlink those 173 slides again! i shoulve been more clear these 173 slides are from antother powerpoint file i had created sections of one presentaitons as different files im planning to copy and paste the slides into the main powerpoint file and the problem wit hte 173 slides one was that i had inserted an action, and i chose mouse on click to hyperlink to slide 1, and such so wen i pasted the 173 slides into the main powerpoint file, that slide would hyperlink to the first slide so i thought i should just leave it as the first 173 slides, cuz thts how it was made ill try out lucy's second suggestion now > I can't see why Lucy's suggestion didn't work for you.

Here's a wild shot. Try hiding the first slide and making your real first slide the second slide. All those hyperlinks should still work to the hidden first slide, but when you start the presentation, it should take you to the second slide (the one you want to be first). Whether this will work for you depends on more details of what you did. --David SignatureDavid M.
