Using Multiple Triggers
Using PPT 2007.
I have four images (Red Box, Green Box, Blue Box, Orange Box) that I want to appear one at a time when launched by individual triggers (Red trigger, Green trigger, Blue trigger, Orange trigger). This is no problem. However, I want to start with none of the Boxes displayed and I only want one Box to display at a time. Here's what I want: I want to open the slide with just the four triggers visible; when I click the Red Trigger I want the Red Box to appear. I want to then be able to click ANY of the remaining triggers and have that trigger's box appear and the Red Box to disappear. I then want to click any of the remaining triggers, including the Red trigger, and have that box appear while at the same time having the previous box disapper. I have the Red Trigger make the Red Box APPEAR and the Green, Orange and Blue Boxes DISAPPER. The three disappering boxes are set to Start With Previous so that when I click the Red Trigger the Red Box displays and any box that happens to be displayed Disappers. I have set the remaining three triggers to do the same with the corresponding colored box Appearing and whichever box is currently displayed Disappearing. Here's my problem; when I open the slide, the Red Box is hidden as desired but the three remaining boxes are visible. Once I click all of the buttons the boxes work as desired. How do I keep the three boxes hidden until the first time I click their applicable triggers? Thank You!!!!!! denny |

Using Multiple Triggers
What if you set a Disappear animation to happen when the slide starts
(at the beginning With Previous after 0 seconds). That should do the trick. --David -- David Marcovitz Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ In article , dslocum wrote: Using PPT 2007.

David,
OMG of course. What I did was place a white box over the images (there is a white background) and I had it disappear with the the first trigger. This means that I have to know which trigger to click first. YOUR WAY IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!! Thank you David, denny |
