Hyperlink troubles

[Gus Porteners]

I am using PowerPoint 2003.
In order to run landscape and portrait oriented slides in one
presentation I made a hyperlink from slide 10 in the landscape oriented
presentation to slide 1 of the portrait oriented presentation, using a
picture as the activator for the link. At the last slide of the portrait
orientation I hyperlinked back to slide 11 in the first presentation.
On running the presentation it neatly links to the portrait presentation
but although its last slide should link back to slide 11, it always goes
back to slide 10 and gets into a loop as this links back to the portrait
orientation presentation etc.
I would be grateful for advise of how to solve the problem.

What I would do:
Add a small object to one of the corners of slide 10 in the landscape
presentation. Bring it to the front, so that it is on top of everything on
the slide. Give that object an action setting of on mouse over, hyperlink to
slide 11.

The next step is to practice using the new button. Run the presentation.
When you are done with the portrait slides, move the mouse quickly to the
corner of the slide that has your object. You should go straight to slide
11. Once you know exactly where to place your mouse for the magic change,
change the fill on the object you added to 98% transparent and the line to
none.

Let us know if this does what you need...

That trick works like a charm. I can now abandon my work-around by using
a menu.
Thank you Kathy.
