Replay a slide

I have created two action buttons.
One that should replay the current current slide
(including animation)
The other to advance to the next slide.

I cannot get the program to replay the slide that was just
viewed. I have tried using the "Last Slide Viewed" and
setting the actual slide from "Slide..." option. Neither
works. Is there anyway of getting the slide to reset
itself and replay?

Any advice you could offer would be appreciated. Thank
you.
 
It can be done with VBA code, but putting macros in your presentation will
prevent you from using the free Viewer. however, you can "trick" it by
putting a blank slide in front of the slide you want to re-view, then
setting the Slide Transition of that slide to "automatically - 0 seconds).
As soon as you go to it, you are sent to your slide (at the beginning) ready
to re-animate.

Thanks Bill,

I didn't think of that trick... That is a brilliant idea.
Thanks

Hello,

PowerPoint does not reset animations and slide timings (including
automatically playing inserted multimedia) on a previously viewed slide
when you jump to it from a later viewed slide. Of course, they 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):

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint include a method for choosing whether or not animations on
slide(s) replay when revisted without normal looping (perhaps a slide or
presentation option, or a Action Setting which can be chosen during slide
show), without having to resort to VBA or add-ins, don't forget to send
your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state

suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state

suggestions)
