Automating going to previous slide
I would like to have a slide upon finished execution of
animations automatically retrieve the previous slide without user intervention. Is this possible in PP2000? |

Automating going to previous slide
Yes and no, Steve.
Without using VBA, this is not possible in a single presentation. Using a single presentation, you could advance to a slide, run animation, and then have a link back to the previous slide. It is possible to have a single slide as a linked show that would display in front of the other show. That single slide could be set to automatically do several animations and advance forward. Since it is only one slide, it would then close the single slide show and revert back to the slide it was called from.

Automating going to previous slide
Yes, I think, how would I do it...
I have a menu driven presentation that once a selection is chosen by the user, it needs to run some animations on a single slide and then return to the menu for further selections WITHOUT any user intervention, including a timed event, keypress or mouse click requesting the hyperlink to return to the menu. It needs to be completely automated and transparent to the user once that menu selection is made. I'm not opposed to a VBA routine, but I'm not a VBA programmer and can't figure out how to envoke a VBA macro without some manual intervention?

Automating going to previous slide
Let me start by saying I was mistaken, there is a way.
It is a bit tricky, so read carefully. 1) Build your regular show without the "jump to" (J2) slides. 2) Insert the J2 slides anywhere in the presentation (to keep it easy on yourself, you may want to insert them immediately after the menu slide). The J2 slides are the ones that will have the effects you want to happen when the user clicks on a menu item. Make sure that ALL the animations are timed, not 'On mouse click' and that the slide has a transition after :xx seconds time filled in. If any of these are manually triggered, then it will need user intervention to continue. 3) Make all the J2 slides hidden 4) Create a series of Custom Shows, each containing 1 of the J2 slides. 5) Hyperlink each of the items on the menu page to one of the custom shows making sure you check the 'Show and return' box. Now, What will happen is that the show will advance to the menu slide. If one of the menu items is clicked, the custom show that corresponds to that item will play over the menu slide. It will do it's thing and when it advances automatically, close. This will, once again, reveal the menu slide. If you advance past the menu slide to the area of the presentation where the all the Jump To slides are, the will be skipped over and not seen. Does this make sense? You can make it even prettier if you add picture copies of the menu slide before and after that have nice auto-timed transitions between them. The initial cut to and cut from will be abrupt, but if it cuts between identical images, the user will be unaware. -- Bill Dilworth Microsoft PPT MVP Team =============== Please spend a few minutes checking vestprog2@ out www.pptfaq.com This link will yahoo. answer most of our questions, before com you think to ask them.

Automating going to previous slide
Almost there, thanks...
I must be doing something wrong... I made sure "show and return" is checked and all is set for using timings, but when I run the show it gets stuck with the same J2 slide in a loop playing repeatedly? never returns to menu it came from? hmm... -----Original Message----- Let me start by saying I was mistaken, there is a way.

Automating going to previous slide
In main show, under slide show | Set-up show, uncheck the 'loop continuous
until escape' box. If Kiosk is selected, change to 'Presented by speaker'. Are you planning on this running as a Kiosk? I didn't know that. If so, then I am not aware of a way to mix presentation types within a single show. Bill D. "Steve" wrote in message ... Almost there, thanks... I must be doing something wrong...

Unfortunately, Yes...
This is a kiosk based presentation. Will a VB routine wrok? How would I activate it without user intervention?

Automating going to previous slide
Ok, if you thought the last one was complicated, you'll flip over this one.
Let's say you have 3 animations you want to demo on the menu slide. Insert the 3 slides with demos BEFORE the menu slide, these will be your J2 slides. Select them and make them hidden. Insert a blank slide between the fist and second J2 slides. It should NOT be hidden and should have a 00:00 seconds auto transition. Copy this blank slide and paste another between the 2nd and 3rd J2 slides. On your menu slide, hyperlink (within the presentation) to the hidden J2 slides. Trust me, if you do everything right, it'll come back to the menu after completing it's run. So, just so we are clear, the order is: .... misc slides 10) Slide J2 #1 {hidden auto with animations timed and auto advance set} 11) Blank {non-hidden slide with 00:00 second auto advance} 12) Slide J2 #2 (same settings as slide #10 but with different effects} 13) Blank {exact copy of slide 11} 14) Slide J2 #3 {same settings as slide #10 but with different effects} 15) Menu slide .... misc slides Now, when you click the first Jump to (J2) effect, you go back in the presentation to a hidden slide, this then advances to the next slide which is not hidden but advances immediately to the next non-hidden slide and then to the menu slide.
