Hello,

I would like to use a kind of menu structure during a
Powerpoint.presentation.

Like webpages: showing a menu on the lefthand side, you can select a menu or
sub-menu, go into it, go into a deeper sub-menu and use a kind of 'previous'
button to go back to the previous webpages.

This all should be in a .pps file.

This menu-structure should be visible in different slides.

All hints or idea's are welcome.

Regards,

Henk

That could get quite complicated to create and maintain.

Suggestion: instead, create individual sub-presentations with links to each
slide on the left or on a "home" slide for the sub-presentation, and use
"breadcrumbs" to let the user navigate back up from the sub presentation to the
main one.

For example, the main presentation might have clickable links to

Topic A
Topic B
Topic C

In the Topic A show, you put something like this on the master:

{Main Menu} --> [Topic A]

Main Menu is a link back TO the Main menu (or actually, an End Presentation
link, which accomplishes the same thing)

Topic A may lead to other sub-sub presentations. Each of those has this on the
master:

[Main Menu] --> [Topic A] --> [SubTopic]

In this case, only Topic A is a link (End Show)

The user can see where they've been, how they got here and how to get back in a
click or two.

The user can see at a glance how
