Power point animation repeat?

[Guest]

I have an animation in power point that is not a movie, just several pics
displayed one after the other. I want to add a button on the slide that
allows the animation to repeat itself. How do I do that?

Put a blank slide with the same slide background before this slide, set the
slide transition of the blank slide to "Automatically - 0 seconds", then
create an Action Button on your slide that hyperlinks to the blank slide.
This will immediately take you to your slide (at the beginning) so all
animations will work.

THANKS! That worked!

The writing wasn't very clear; I've changed it.
Though it may not work as you'd expect it to, it's not a bug. It's supposed to
be this way (and PPT 2003 works the same as earlier versions). The same
solutions should work for 2003 as for earlier versions.

Thx a lot for your answer and for the change.
Ok, I understood. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Where it's funny, if i open the ppt created with PowerPoint under Impress
(OpenOffice), it's work perfectly.
I think it will be good if microsoft added a check-box under Slide Shows -->
Set up Show, a check box named "restart animations on each slide" for example.
This function will be very useful for all presentations which the goal is to
be a menu without end.

Sincerely,

Tounet.

Different programs, different bug... er... features. ;-)

Totally agree!
