Feature suggestion

Please can you give consideration to the following feature....

Please add the ability to choose which slide is transitioned to when you
click "next slide". this will give the ability to create truly interactive
presentations whitht the ability to brach off via a hotsopt to a "sub
presentation" and return automatically once the last slide of that section
has been completed.

Sonia,
Thank you for that idea, I tried it and thought that would sort me out,
but... Unfortunately it only allows you to show a single slide that you
branch to via a hotspot. i tried saving the "sub presentation" as a separate
PowerPoint show, but once that series of slides had been completed it did not
seamlessly return to the originating slide.

Blondy,
I think what you really want (rather than putting the slides in a separate
file) is to go to Slide Show --> Custom Shows and create a custom show for
each of your linked sections. Once you have done that, set up hyperlinks to
the custom shows instead of the slides themselves. While still in the
hyperlink interface, check the box marked "Show and return" (it is only
available when you link to a custom show).

For more on custom shows, check out this article from my site:

Hope this helps!
