Presentation with quizzes Adding and Deleting slides

[Guest]

If slides are added or deleted within a training course containing quizzes
with Action Setting buttons (True/False, etc), does Powerpoint adjust for the
additional slide or the deletion of a slide and auto adjust the slide jump,
or, do I need to go into each and every quiz page in the course and reset the
Action Settings answer jumps?

Links to specific slides will always point to the specific slide, no matter
where in the presentation the slide is moved (though deleting the slide will
break the link, of course). When it's created, the slide is given a unique ID
number that PPT uses to resolve links. This number won't change even though the
position of the slide in the presentation changes.

Links to Next/Previous/First/Last slides will always point to whatever slide is
next/previous etc rather than to specific slides.

Links to slides with a comma or hashmark (#) in the slide title will probably
break whether you change the slide's position in the show or not, so avoid using
those characters in the slide title.

I'm not sure what happens with links to custom shows; if you're using any of
those, test (on a COPY of your original presentation, of course), come back and
share the knowledge. ;-)

If you are using a custom show, as long as the show exists the link will
too. Custom show links go to the first slide in the custom show and proceed
from there. If you delete the custom show, the link breaks. In 2007 you get
an error message that the Custom Show doesn't exist. I don't remember
getting that message before, but it may have been there.

So sayeth the Queen of the Custom Show.
No more need be added. <g>

Thanks, Kathy.

Custom show links go to the first slide in the custom show and proceed
