I've set up custom animations for each slide in normal view and the preview button shows the animation as I want it. In slide show, however, the animations don't work! Ideas?
 
'Don't work' covers a lot of ground, care to be a little more specific?

What animations, how did you set them, what overall effect, what didn't
happen, what happens?

Have you ticked the option to 'Show slideshow without animation' (Slide show
| Set up show...) by any chance?

Thanks, Bill. I've set the custom animations to dissolve words and shapes onto each slide on the click of the mouse. I've created the settings using Slide Show, Custom Animation, then checking each object to animate, choosing the dissolve effect, setting the order and selecting mouse click for the timing. Clicking the Preview button animates the slide as I've indicated---everything dissolves in according to the order I've preselected. When I click OK and then start the slide show (F5, or Slide Show then View Show, or starting from the lower left tool bar) as I mouse click from slide to slide, or page down, or down arrow from slide to slide no animation or transition of any sort occurs: the entire next slide appears all at once. Does that help?
 
Shyam, you're a hero! I had no idea that was possible and I have no idea how the box got checked!! I sure appreciate your help. I have a couple more questions, but maybe it's best to enter them as new topics. Thanks again!! Roger
