Disable actions on a powerpointslide when go back to a previous slide

[johan]

During a slideshow each slide shows some animationactions.
With a button on one of the slides I jump to another slide (with some
sub information for users that want to see more info) and on that slide
I have a button to go back where I come from.
When I come back on my previous slide, the animationactions on that
slide starts from the beginning. That's the problem !!

When I come back on that previous slide I don't want to see again the
animationactions.
I think that I need a VBA code that says : go back to the previous
slide and don't show the animationactions again.
Remarks : Just as normal, when I click on the slide, and the slideshow
shows the next slide, the animationactions on the next slide should
work normally.

Can somebody, who's got more brains then me, please help me.
Regards, Johan

Your button to go back. Does it go back to the beginning of your
presentation or to particular slides? By design when you link back to a
slide it brings you back after all the events have been completed (finished
slide)

Try setting up a custom show (Slide Show--> Custom Show) that contains the
slide you are linking to. Now, link to the custom show and check the "Show
and Return" box. This way, when you click to go to your custom show, the
animations on the linked from slide will be placed on hold. When you return,
they will pick up where they were. Try it and let us know if that gets you
closer.

Thanks for the reactions. I think I have to explain my problem more
specific.
I'm talking about a slide show, but it's a normal ppt file (not a pps
file). I start the slideshow just by clicking on the "slide show from
current slide" button left in the belowcorner.

The slideshow shows slide 1 and start, after a click on the screen with
the mousepointer, with the first annimationtext (after that the next
one, the next one, etc..).
On slide 1 is also a button created with a VBA code. When I have
finished the explanation of the shown text on the screen I want to show
more detail information thats located on another slide (for example
slide 10). So I click on the button.

Button VBA:
Private sub Commandbutton1_click()
With slideshowwindows(1).view.
.goto slide 10
End with
End sub

When I had shown the detail information on slide 10 I want to go back
to where I came from. So on slide 10, I had also created a button with
the same VBA code with for this button the code .gotoslide1.

The show shows me then slide 1, but it's started again with an empty
slide and after each click on the screen they show me the
animationtext.

That's the problem. I want, when I come back on that slide that the
annimation is finished. I don't want to see the annimation again.
And,.... when I click on the screen, just as normal, I want to go to
the next slide, and when there is a annimation I want to see that.

Can you help me please.
