Hi gang,
Slide 1 contains a grid of hyperlinks pointing to other slides in the
file. On each of the target slides, the text is supposed to enter via
"Zoom from Bottom," and appear immediately ("Automatic" is checked).
And they do. Until they don't. All such slides are set up with
identical parameters for the animation, but not all of them appear with
the animation. And there's a pattern:
I haven't yet filled in the text on all the target slides; some of them
contain just a word of dummy text, e.g., "Link4." When I click the
hyperlink pointing to any of those slides, the effect ALWAYS occurs.
When I click the others (links to slides whose text I *have* entered),
typically the first 1 or 2 links clicked produce the animation, but
after that the animation DOESN'T show for any of the links (though the
text does appear). And the ONLY difference I know of between the slides
with the dummy text and the slides with the actual, new, pasted text is
that I typed the dummy text in manually, but on the others I'm pasting
the text, from a Word doc.
Is that a bad thing? Is there something I'm not doing while pasting?
Is there a known weakness as to frequency with that particular
animation? (To be sure I'm not pasting any funny stuff, I paste this
text as 'unformatted,' using Edit-> PasteSpecial.) What could be
causing this and how can I set it right? I need to have the effect
happen on each of the target slides.
TIA!!!
