How do I keep PP animations when I repeatedly use a slide?

[Guest]

I created a game and the question slides have hyperlinks on the multiple
choice answers to tell whether they are correct or incorrect. When you go to
the hyperlinked slides the first time they work great. After the first time
all animations - graphics, text, sound - are lost. The slides have back
buttons that hyperlink back to the previous slide.
Any ideas?
Thanks

There's a tutorial on this very subject on the powerpoint alchemy pages
(hints and tips). It's in the custom shows section

The easiest way is to link to a dummy slide you place before the target
slide. Here is the deal. Slides will automatically reset when they are
"advanced into", but not when they are re-visited.

So, insert a blank slide in the place before the target slide. Change the
transition to automatically after 00:00 seconds. Hide the slide so that it
is skipped over in normal transitioning. Then, whenever you need to replay
the slide, link to the dummy slide in front of it.

Its easy, once you understand the premise.
