Applying slide transitions to hyperlinks

[Tim Reid]

Are slide transitions only applicable to a linear
advancing of the slide show? If I use an interactive menu
slide, the hyperlink works but in jumping to the correct
slide, the transition I assigned to destination slide is
not applied.

 

[Geetesh Bajaj]

The transition is not applied when you hyperlink because PowerPoint defaults
to showing the finished stage of the slide (after all animations and
transition). Here's a workaround from:

http://www.indezine.com/notes/2004/07/link-to-slide-and-all-animations-are.html

1. In your presentation, insert blank slides between all slides.

2. Give these blank slides a slide transition that automatically advances in
00:00 seconds.

3. Place all hyperlinks to the blank slide before the slide you actually
want to hyperlink.

Now when you view the slide show, all animations (and transition) for a
particular slide will show.
