Hi All,

I have a complicated slide that needs to be reset every time it is displayed. For the time being I am using a reset button on the slide itself, but of course management would rather not have to click a button.

So my question is: is there an event that fires when a slide becomes the active slide?

Thanks
Don
 
The best solution for this depends on how you will be navigating to the
slide.

If you are using hyperlinks within the presentation to go back to a viewed
slide, then you can reset the slide by inserting a blank slide in the
position before the targeted slide. Set the auto transition time to 00:00
and link to this slide instead of the targeted one. This will cause the
targeted slide to be reset every time it is linked to.

If however, you are going to be "backing" into the slide using backward
advances, then you will need to use one of the event capture tools to detect
a new slide and reset it. Check here for the event capture tools.

Depends on what you mean by reset - if it's a case of getting the animations
to play from the beginning, add a blank slide just before the slide in
question, set the slide advance time to 0.

Then instead of other slides linking to the "real" slide, link to the one
prior to it. It'll advance right away to the "real" slide with animations
reset.
