Customized animation/hyperlink?

[Casiopeia]

Hi! Here is one tricky question for the PowerPoint experts I know lurk here

I’m designing a presentation for one of our customers who has some specific
demands according one slide. The slide shows a bullet list with a number of
different products to the left and on the right hand side the customer wants
a picture of the each of the products to show. Further the customer wants to
be able to click on the name any of the products in the list (in any order)
to make it highlighted and to make the specific picture to appear. It's
important that the customer can customize the presentation by choosing only
to view for example product B and D or show the pictures in reverse order. A
ordinary animation is by other means not an option ( where the order and
numbers of animations are predefined)

The only way I can think of to solve this is to make a number of different
slides for each product and hyperlink them. I however don’t think this is a
very practical solution because it complicates the usage of the presentation
and makes it difficult for the customer to edit the slides.

Is there a way to do this with just one single slide?

You want to use trigger animations. Here's a quick explanation of how they
work:

Actually, you're solution is a good one. The individual slides makes it
easier for your client to edit the photos.

You might consider Hiding each of the photo slides, and making each of them
a Custom Show. That way, when someone clicks on the hyperlink (which connects
to a show) you can direct it to Show and Return back to the main page.
