MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Back button not working in custom show
I have created a custom show from a larger presentation. All works fine except that when i am showing the custom show I cannot 'scroll back' to previosu slides. When I click the left arrow it takes me back to the immediately previsou slide but clicking it again does not take me back to any earlier slide. Any reason why? or any way round? Is this a button you added to the presentation? If so, what Action Setting is it set to? Is it set to Previous Slide or Last Slide Viewed? Last Slide Viewed does not work like a Back button on a browser. It goes to the slide that was viewed just before this one.

MY fault for not being clear. I can advance the slide show by pressing the space bar or the right arrow on the keyboard. Normally however, pressing the left arrow takes me back to the previous slide - but not in my custom show - where it actually advances me to the next slide (as does pressing the up or down arrow!). I am not refering to any hyperlinks or action settings I have created merely the normal advancing of slides with the keyboard Thanks > Is this a button you added to the presentation?

Clicking left and right arrows in a custom show works as expected for me (not as you describe). --David  SignatureDavid M.

I'm guessing your back button is hyperlined to Previously Viewed slide. You may want Previous slide instead. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Ah!

Not a clue about that one, but have you tried totally powering down the computer, letting it sit for a few minutes, then restarting? > Ah!
