Reversing order of CUSTOM anim. in a copied slide presentation...

[Guest]

This is what I am trying to do...
I am using PP to do flashcards for my college Spanish Course.
What I want is to put my vocab in - have one english text box - one spanish
translated text box - have english pop first (on click) and then spanish
after a click - then on to the next slide.

After that I want to copy the exact same vocab file and JUST (it should be
that simple but I can't get it) reverse the order so that the spanish pops
first.

I have messed with the Slide Master thing but I don't fully understand its
function and global application. It seems like I should be able to have the
SM more representative of the simple to text box slides I created so that I
can just go in there and press the reorder arrow once and apply it to all
slides....

Any suggestions would be appreciated - thank you.

You could do this with VBA, but that is a bit difficult for a beginner and
may not work in many situations.

You could use two trigger animations (each that will reveal one of the text
boxes they cover). So on one pass you can click on the Spanish first, on
the next the English.

You can link the textboxes to excel cells, and switch the words over there
in between presentation runs.
