Multi-scenario presentation?

[verm25]

I am stumped by the following: I need to have slides where I have
different triggers to show different animations.
So for instance, if I click, then I fire custom animation A. If I
press, I fire animation B instead. And so on.
What I want is a slide which has many layers and I choose which layer
I show during presentation based on how
the presentation is going. The organizers are limiting me to just a
few slides, which is fine but it leaves no room
for backup slides during the Q&A session, so I have to pack those
behind the main presentation. So the way I see
this running, is that I run through my talk the usual way by clicking
but when the time comes to answer questions
I go back, press a secret button and have the visuals to answer
someone's questions. I would like to avoid VBA
since I got no clue where to start with that but standard "custom
animation" options are only "on click", "with previous",
and "after previous" meaning that only a linear animation sequence is
supported.

How do I get around that?

You'll be employing PowerPoint's trigger and Action Setting capabilities.
Let me know how it goes. You're definitely on the right track for delivering
strategic, audience-focused presentations.

What about hyperlinks? They don't have to be _underlined_, do they? A
hyperlink could take you to a slide past the "last" slide that has the
same basic content plus the extra layers. If you want to be cunning, you
could set another hyperlink (in the last slide) that takes you back to
the original one. It'll give the impression of "layers".

I can only submit a few slides so no slides past the last one
otherwise it would
be easy. Triggers works great - thanks buzzword Sandy
("strategic, audience-focused presentation" is kind of like "synergy
paradigm" only
for PPT folks).
