Hi,

My PPT 2003 presentation will be running in kiosk mode so the slides can
come up multiple times. The problem is the custom animations (blinds,
etc) on objects only work the first time?

Is it possible to tell PPT to run the animations EVERY time the slide is
brought up? Not just once!

Any help is appreciated!

Animations do reset when a slide it transitioned into using the normal flow
(1, 2, 3 or even 1,2(hidden), 3). They do NOT reset if a slide is linked
back to (after the animations have reached they ending positions) or if you
'back into' a slide.

So ... the key to having animations start whenever a slide is linked to, is
to insert a blank slide prior to the animated one. Set the slide to
auto-transition in 0:00 seconds. Then when you want to go back to the
animated slide, link to the blank slide before it.

The result is that PowerPoint will go to the blank slide and immediately
transition to the animated one with all the animations set to their starting
positions.

Hello Jerome,

PowerPoint does not replay animations on a previously viewed slide when you
jump to it from a later viewed slide. Of course, the animations are reset
when the presentation loops back to the beginning or you navigate
"naturally" to a slide from it's previous slide. Here is a KB article for
PowerPoint 2000 that describes a couple of workarounds (similar articles
exist for other versions of PowerPoint):

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;197701&Product=ppt

If the option to choose whether or not the animations on a slide replay
from the beginning, regardless of whether it was previously viewed or not,
is important to you (or anyone else reading this message), don't forget to
send your feedback to Microsoft at:

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
