Hi,

Can anyone help me on this:

please see: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b763ba/ for simple demo
file. (click "Download for free with FileFactory Basic" somewhere in
the middle of the page)

I have a powerpoint where the first slide acts as a menu, so users can
select which part of the presentation they want to see.
I've added action buttons, and have defined the action as "goto slide
number x". Each 'subsection' has some slides that change
automatically. At the end of each section there is a slide with an
action button, with action "goto slide 1", so the users go back to the
main menu.

All this works file, BUT: when they return to slide 1, and select the
same option again, the automatic transitions in the 'subsections' no
longer work: the presentation gets stuck at the first slide of the
'subsection", and will only advance with 'arrow down'.

I have tried PPT 2000, 2003 and 2007: all experience the same
behaviour. Is this a PPT bug, or am I doing something wrong here??

Try making the subsections custom shows and hyperlink to "custom show" + tick
show and return and see if that helps.
