restart slide animation

P

Pyrite

I have created a kiosk style tutorial with nav buttons forward and back which
load once each slide's animation has completed. Clicking the back button
hyperlinks to the previous slide but to a point after animation has ended. In
other words to the end of the previous slide. Animation is not refreshed.

I've resolved this issue for the final slide by adding a home button which
loads to a dummy slide set to transition immediately to the first slide in
the show and that does restart my presentation, but if I try this between
each slide then I can never navigate backwards since the previous dummy slide
would instantly propel me forward again.

I want the reviewer to have control over what they see and repeat any given
slide's animation again in real time should they wish. Perhaps there is a way
to add a button which restarts the current slide but I can't find it. It
seems this should be possible. What's the good of having animation in a slide
if PowerPoint won't let you restart that animation at will? What am I missing?

When you go back to a slide by clicking on a link, PowerPoint will remember
that the animation has been played and not repeat it again. One way you can
do is to reset the builds. Check the solution (Sample Code to Reset the
Builds on a Slide) out:
"Animations don't play when I go back to a slide"
