Help With PPT 2003 Animation-last animation won't exit.

[hudgevudge]

Hi,
I have 4 "trigger" boxes on the left. When you click on any one,up
comes a corresponding grouped box on the right with text, a photo, and
an embedded .wav file. I would like the user to be able to go back and
forth freely, clicking on any trigger box, in any order, to pull up the
info on the right they wish to see.

So far, no problem. The first 3 work great by adding an exit animation
that "starts with previous" as the next box is clicked.. This way, the
new animation will always show up. My problem is the last box. I
cannot get it to exit! I applied an exit animation, but no timing
options will work! The last box stays up there forever! How do I make
that last animation exit on a click, so this slide will be truly
interactive?

Thanks!

I think I would add an exit for each right hand box triggered by a click on
itself.
