I don't know. Cause I don't like the Custom Animation method because I
always like to have the "Hand Pointer" indicating an action setting and I
was used to right-clicking the icon after I inserted it and select Action
Settings then click the "Object Action", "Open", then click the "Highlight
click" option. If I do the Custom Animation option by itself I don't get
the ability to highlight the click (at least I don't know how to). And
since I end up going into Action Settings anyway, it is just as easy to do
the "Hyperlink to", "Other file" method instead of the Insert, Object
method.

Plus, I'm ornery! There, I said it! HA!

change the icon or caption. Only down side with this option is being
able
to click and open during Slide Show mode. The first one works better for
that.

?? Why do you say that?
