Is it possible to turn on/off animation at the individual slide level - i.e.,
build custom animation into each slide but switch it off animation for
selected slides at show time?
Neither Slide transition nor Animation schemes appear to adress this
 
Mike,

you can turn off the animations (this does not remove them)... if just turns
them off, until you turn them back on again.


slideshow menu > set up show > tick 'show without animations'

TAJ's idea is a good trick, but it turns off the animations at the show
level, not at the individual slide level. (In other words all on or all off)

To the original poster:
What I would do to get a user-choosable situation like this is to have two
sets of slides, one with animations and one without. Hide all the
non-animated slides. Set up one custom show for each non-animated slide
(Slide Show--> Custom show).

Place a button in one of the corners of your first slide. Make sure there is
no animation and that it doesn't show (i.e., no line and 98%transparent).
Right click the button and select Action Settings. Set the action setting to
hyperlink to the custom show that contains the non-animated slide. Be sure
to select show and return. Repeat this process for each slide.

On the master slide, add another invisible button just to the side of the
one you added above. Hyperlink that to "Next slide".

To use the system, show the presenter where to put their mouse if they want
the non-animated version of the current slide. Since the link will happen on
mouse over, running the slide over the spot will bring up the other slide.
When the slide is done being discussed, click and you will return to the
original slide. Click the button added from the master and the next slide
will show.

Would that meet your needs?
