MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Need help keeping text box from reappearing
I am creating a Jeopardy game with number boxes on the first slide. The boxes and linked to questions which are linked to answers and then linked back to the first slide. But I can't keep the previous question box from reappearing when I link back to continue the game. Can anyone offer suggestions?  SignatureBeth Why do you link back to the first slide? Why not link back to the slide with the game board? When you go back to the first slide and then move forward, all animations are reset. If you move directly to the game board slide, you will return to the slide in whatever state you left it. --David SignatureDavid M.

If that is the case, then animations shouldn't reset when you hyperlink to the first slide. How are you making the text boxes "disappear"? Are you using trigger animations? --David SignatureDavid M. Marcovitz Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Director of Graduate Programs in Educational Technology Loyola College in Maryland Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ It was a trigger issue.

If the animation has already appeared once, it will stay if you advance to that slide again through hyperlinking. If it's not through hyperlink, then the animation will restart. Custom show will also restart the animation. So how did you set up the linking?

The first slide has boxes numbered 1-30. When you click on 1 it takes you to slide 2 with a question. This is set up with a hyperlink. Slide 2 has two boxes at the bottom. One hyperlinks to slide 1 and one hyperlinks to slide 31 with the answer. The answer page then has a box when clicked takes you back to slide 1 and box 1 reappears. I am going to check if there is custom animation set up for this template.
