Resetting slides after returning to them

I have a presentation setup in which I jump slides a lot. I have found that
when I go from slide A to slide D, then back to slide A, the animations for A
have already run through and are as I left them. I do not want this.
Is there a way of setting all, or specified, animations to be reset and run
through a second time upon return to thast slide from a later one?

Also, I have a reset button that runs the presentation again from the
beginning without exiting first. Because of this, the same thing happens, all
animations have already run through.
Can I make this button set the whole presentation back to normal upon
clicking on it?

Thanks!
 
What you need to do, is to insert a blank slide with zero transition times,
before the slide you want to link back to, and link back to the blank slide.
When you come back to a slide, PowerPoint opens the slide, after all the events
are completed.

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply!

No way of setting only specific animations to play though again?

Another question: Is there a way to set the mouse pointer to visible by
default?
 
And also, is there a way of totally disabling all navigation between slides
except for action buttons that I set? (this includes clicking on the screen,
arrow buttons, etc.)

Thanks!
 
Thanks for all your help!

The adding a blank slide before idea works except for one thing, it messes
up that slides navigation for going back to the previously viewed slide.
Anyone know a way around this?

BTW, I found out about the mouse and navigation questions I asked, I use
Kiosk mode!

Set up the slide show as View at Kiosk. Only your action buttons will
work and the Esc key.

When I go back to slide A (which is the blank slide before B) it works, but
then C doesn't. I don't want to have to put a blank slide before ever slide,
so what can I do?
 
You will have to insert a blank slide in front of every slide you want to link
back to. If you think that this is a required and important feature that you
would like to see in PowerPoint, then I suggest you leave your suggestion at the

I put a blank slide before the ones I was linking to, but the ones that
automatically come after them also seem to need a blank slide before them,
although I'm not linking to them directly...
I will let Microsoft know, thanks!

As long as your not linking to a slide, the next slide in succession should play
as originally designed.

Do you have all the updates to 2003? I created a presentation with all kinds of
links animations etc. and they all work repeatedly for me. If you presentation
is not overly large, and contains sensitive information, I would not mind having
a look at it, to see if I can determine what is going on. My email is
