Hi David,
Through all the puns, I've lost track of this. Is the problem solved?
Not as yet but I can scrap all the 'fixes' I've done and make a fresh start
with all the new information.
I'll post when I have a known fix [or get stuck again ;-)].
(1) Are you using a Mac or Windows?
My apologies for not providing this information.
Windows XP Pro (all service packs)
Office 2003 (all service packs)
(2) Do you have any animated GIFs on the slide?
There are a number of png files, oodles of custom animation but no animated
gifs. Sorry if this has destroyed a theory.
(3) There is no question 3.
That's a coincidence 'cos there's no third answer either. Strange.
Incidently, not only have I recreated the 'problem' on the original
presentation but also replicated it on another presentation specifically for
that purpose.
Steps:
1. On blank presentation, insert 2 png files and 2 small text boxes(with
"More") and 2 larger text boxes(with anything).
2. Put the 2 small text boxes on top of one another so they always appear in
the same position on the slide.
3. On each large textbox make a custom animation entrance (fade in)
triggered by onClick of the corresponding small text box.
4. On each large text box make a custom animation exit (disappear) triggered
by the onClick of the non-corresponding small text box.
5. On each small text box make a custom animation entrance (fade in)
triggered by onClick of the corresponding png file.
6. On each small text box make a custom animation exit (disappear) triggered
by the onClick of the non-corresponding png file.
7. Run the show
i) only the 2 png files should show
ii) click on one of the png files and one small textbox should fade-in.
iii) click on the small text box and the large text box should fade-in
iv) click on the other png file and the original small text box should
disappear and the other should fade-in
v) click on the small text box and the large text box should disappear
and the other should fade-in
When you click on either of the small textboxes look closely at where the
cursor changes to a hand. On one of them the cursor will change over the
whole textbox and on the other it will change only around the textbox edge.
It does for me anyway.
Regards
Zig
