I was using PowerPoint '97 but now use 2000. With '97 I
was able to use the "Hide on Mouse Click" option so that I
could have multiple items appear then disappear only after
I clicked the mouse. This does not work with 2000. If
you choose "Hide on Next Mouse Click" the animated object
disappears right away like it would if you selected "Hide
after Animation".

How can I get this to work properly in 2000?

Gen,
