Slide not showing

I have taken an existing powerpoint presentation
(legally!) and adapted it by changing the colors text
etc. I also added in a couple of slide through
duplication. These slides show up in the layout view but
do not play or show in the slideshow or preview mode. It
automatically advances to the next slide as if the added
slide doesn't exist.
I'm assuming it's a setting somewhere but have been
looking for hours to no avail.
Can someone direct me? I would appreciate it!
Thanks, Pat
 
Hi Pat,
Here are two things to check:
1) Check to see if there is a custom show set up (Slide Show-> Custom Show)
2) Check to see if your new slides are set to be hidden slides (Look at them
in Slide sorter view and see if the slide icon has a red line through it)

Kathryn,
Thanks for responding! Both of those things are
negative. No custom slideshows set up and no red lines
in across the slide in the slide sorter view.
In my research - I did come across some info stating
potential problems with images not showing from a
previous version of powerpoint. I didn't look too
closely because this is the entire slide. I'll go back
and recheck that info. I did resave the program in the
current version - maybe that has something to do with
it? Any other ideas you may have would be helpful! :)

Pat, notice that Kathy said "slide icon". In Slide Sorter view look at the
slide numbers. Do any of them have border around them and a slash through
them?

No they didn't but I found the solution! :) WHEW!
I don't quite understand why but....
When I added the text animation there was a setting
under "Timing" "Trigger" I changed it from "Start effect
on click of" to "animate as part of click sequence".

And Voila! The slide appeared in the slide show again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help an
(obviously) newbie out.
