Reset animation

I need to create a button on a slide to reset all the animation on that
slide so that I can run it again and again if necessary. I presume this will
be VBA?

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks,
androo....
 
If you want to do it the VBA way, the code is:
SlideshowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide X, True

where X is the index of the slide and True resets the animation for that
slide.

The non-VBA method would be to add a slide PRIOR to this slide. No content
on the slide (eg. blank), but with the same background. Set the slide
transition to AUTO and the time to 0. Add a button to your slide that takes
the presntation to the new blank slide. It will automatically advance to
your slide - at the beginning of the animation.
 
If you mean you want to repeat the animations on one slide you will need to
make that slide a custom show (slide show > custom shows > new) and in slide
show > set up show click loop until esc. Call the custom show with an action
button hyperlink to custom show , tick show and return.

On the custom slide have an end show action button to return to the main
show or to another custom show.

Thanks.
The following seems to be working for every slide:

SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide
(SlideShowWindows(1).View.Slide.SlideIndex), True

Best,

I have a simular issue in my slide show, but I am a very novice user. I have
a question and answer set up and the answer has animation on it. I want the
animation to run everytime someone goes to the slide. It is the wrong answer
slide connected to multiple choice questions so it is used more often than
the correct answer slide. Right now it runs the first time, but the next time
you get the answer wrong the clip art just stays where it ended the last time
instead of running the animation again. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Instead of linking directly to the slide, set up a custom show that contains
the slide. Start by opening the presentation. Go to Slide Show--> Custom
Shows. Create a new custom show that contains your wrong answer slide.
Create a second custom show that contains your right answer slide. Now for
the tedious part... Replace each wrong answer link with a link to the wrong
answer custom show and check the box for "Show and Return". Repeat the
process for the correct answer links.

That should work better than what you are doing now, even if it is tedious
to fix...
