Drill Down - Then Return when Ready

[Guest]

Hi All,

I'd like to drill down to another more detailed slide then return when
ready.

Any suggestions as how to do this the best way?

Thanks,
Baz

I just did this with PP 2002.

Create a hyperlink on your "start" slide, link it to the more detailed
slide. On your more detailed slide, make another hyperlink to the original
slide. I used blank text boxes, and made the whole text box the link. When
you are in viewer mode the cursor turns into a hand when you go over the
hyperlinked area, so you know where to click. When you go into the hyperlink
dialogue box, you'll find that you can choose to link "to a place in this
document", which will then bring up a list of all the slides you have in the
presentation, then you can just click on the slide you want.

This is the way I did it (I found help had the details on how to make one
hyperlink, slide to slide, but not how to get back). There may be an easier
way.

Hi Barry,

In pp 2002 (my version) when you are in the presentation view (either
through a .ppt show or through a .pps show) you can type in the slide number,
press enter and it will jump straight to it - if you're within the same show.
Then use the same technique to get back to the original slide.

Advice I have seen on this forum is to have a hard copy of the slide show
(file/send to/word/outline view will print all the titles and bullet points
to a word doc leaving the pictures behind) then use that to navigate around.
The heading numbers refer to the slide number.

Hope this helps.

Sorry - I didn't realise it was for a web presentation. I'm not sure what
is the best option to use for the web - powerpoint or some other software.
Apart from that - hyperlinks with "see more about xxx" as the on screen
dialogue and using the same sort of code to go to the "next" or "previous"
page might be the best option. Then you'd just have a "back" button,
similar to what most web browsers use.

Apart from that - maybe someone else can give you a better option. If you
re-post with the web page question, someone may answer more fully - people
may not read all the posts and so not see that you still need more
information.

Good luck.

I haven't been following this thread, but if it is for the Web, VBA won't
work. VBA only works on the full version of PowerPoint (not in the Viewer
and not over the Web).
