Pause button for animated slide shows?

I have a long PowerPoint slide show that I need to be able to add a pause
button to so that the presenter can stop the current animation when in the
PSS mode and then have it start right back up. Is there such a button or
action I can use to accomplish this?
 
In Slide Show Mode, pressing "S" will stop the auto animation timing
sequence. Pressing "S" again will start the next object's time at 0. For
example, if your slide has 10 objects that each animate on 5 seconds apart,
and you press "S" during the 4th second of object 8, pressing "S" again will
start the sequence of Object 8 at 0 seconds, not 4 seconds.

Is this good enough? If not, you can certainly assign a macro to a button
to "pause/restart" animations. Of course, this method requires some VBA
programming skills. The following link provides sample code:
