Animation (custom), "restarting".

HELLLLLLLLLLLP.

I have a multi-slide presentation. A few one the slides
have animation, keyed to "start after previous". I start
THAT particular slide, watch my little things grow&turn,
travel a custom-drawn path, then end as planned. Now the
problem:

If I click onto another slide, watch that, read, whatever
it contains, THEN GO BACK to the animation slide I just
mentioned, I get butkis. Nothing. It does not move. It
is as if the animation, once "played", cannot "auto" play
again unless I exit the entire presentation, and start it
again. What the heck is going on?

Thanks,

When you return to a slide, PowerPoint returns you to the "end" of the action.
It works well for many situations, but it sounds like it's not a good thing in
your case. Sooo....create a blank slide with a timing of 0 and put it in front
of the animated slide. Instead of jumping back to the animated slide, jump to
the blank slide and it will gracefully slide (pardon the pun) you right into the
beginning of your animations.
 
Sonia,

It didn't work. I have sent you a portion of it to
(e-mail address removed).

Regards,
Bob
