click and move backwards?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

When I reach the last slide in a presentation (one of many), the next
click brings up the black screen and "end of slide show, click to
exit" whereas I want the last click to bring up the menu slide which
had a hyperlink to this presentation..

How can this be done?!

Cheers

Geoff

Hi,

Go to Tools| Options| View Tab and under "Slide show" section get rid of End
with Black Slide.

If you disable "end with black slide" in tools>options that will do it BUT
only on your computer. I believe this is for a cd in which case you need to
untick transition on click for the last slide in the hyperlinked presentation
and add in an action button > "end show"

John,

I'm getting close!

Yes, this is for a CD and I am doing the following.

1. I open the last slide and select Slide Show/Slide Transition and
deselect "on mouse click" from Slide Advance.

2. I add an action button with the option to "end show".

3. I use "Make CD Package" option but just copy the files to a folder.

4. I run the play.bat file and go to the slide using 1 and 2 above,
but although the action button works OK, when I click on the slide I
still get the black screen!

Am I missing something here?!

Are you hyperlinking from a seoarate file? I will email you a sample in a few
minutes - nothing fancy!!

John,

Just for the record!

I have just realized that I have been saying the wrong thing
altogether!!

When on the second slide I should have said that when I press the
enter/return key I get the black screen with the message, "end of
slide show, click exit".

It is this action, ie the use of the enter/return key that I would
like to prevent. Is this possible?

Cheers

John,

I may have got the answer from the Net - I used Slide Show > Set Up
Show > Browsed at a kiosk and this disables all except the escape key.

Any problems with this?

Try slide show > set up show >kiosk mode

John,

I though that was the answer but it stops the amimations! I need to
use the enter key to move from one animation to the next!

Is there an answer to this?

In kiosk mode you will have to provide action buttons for next slide AND a
button to trigger animations (effect options > timing>triggers)

John,

This is weird - perhaps I was too quick. The kiosk config does in fact
allow the enter key to bring on the next animation and it also
prevents the appearance of the black screen when using the enter key
after all the animation has taken place.

If this is correct the only problem is that I have several hundred
slides which need to be changed in this way! The last slide in each
presentation needs the kiosk config and an action button to move back
to the menu file.

If I leave the slides so that the enter key brings up the black
screen, using the enter key again does bring up the menu file - it
just does not look very nice...

Cheers
