Start and stop and object

[puffalump]

Is there a way to move an object via animation to a new point and stop the
animation there and then at a later time have a new animation for that object
start (or a continuation of the animation that only starts with a click or
has an intermediate delay)?

Hi

If you have 2003 or above you can use motion paths (they may also be
available in XP/2002 but I'm not absolutely sure). There is a good training
overview here:

Animations II is about motion paths, but you may want to have a quick look
at parts I and III also.

Instead of one continuous motion path, you can insert two different motion
path onto the object, with the second one repositioned so that its start
point is right after the end of first motion path. Make sure the second
motion path is set to start: on click.

Another way is to make use of vba to pause the slide show
