Hi.
I'm trying to create a educational football (soccer) game on powerpoint
using hyperlinks to other slides but have encountered a problem.
I have used a Motion Path to make the ball move from one position to
another. When I link back to this page (i.e when the ball ends up back at the
starting point of the slide), the slideshow jumps to the completed slide (i.e
the ball in it's new place), and skips the Custom Animation of the ball
travelling.

I suppose if that's confusing, a good example would be if you were doing a
standard presentation with text appearing one bullet point after the other,
and you accidently skipped forward to the next slide, I want to go back to
the original slide at it's starting point (i.e before the text has appeared)

I would REALLY appreciate ANY help or thoughts!
Thanks
 
Put a blank slide before the one you want to link back to with zero
transitions and timings, and link back to that slide. Be default PowerPoint
brings you back to a slide after all the activities have been completed.

What Michael and Steve said. To add on, if you have lots of such slides. You
do not need to make lots of blank/dummy slides, which makes it looks untidy.
Instead, you can make use of custom show.

To do so, create a new custom show and add the blank slide you have created
into the custom show. Now, on the slide before the animated slide, have it
hyperlinked to the custom show (and set it to Show and Return).

You can then create multiple custom shows or have many slides in one custom
show. Various ways you can do depending on what you are trying to achieve.
