How do I get a hyperlink to work repeatedly?

[tiangm]

I created a hyperlink on the master slide and it worked well when I was
running the slideshow. But after I click on another hyperlink to run another
show then come back to the first hyperlink, it stopped working. How can I
make the hyperlink work everytime I click on it?

No.. it's like a menu bar on top with many topics.. linking to different
sections of the presetnation. Say "marketing" and "advertising" for examples'
sake. When I click on marketing heading on the top menu (created on master
slide), it brings me to the marketing section.. and likewise for advertising.
But when I go back to marketing after advertising, the slideshow for
marketing will not be reactivated again. How do I make it such that the show
will always be activated with the hyperlink? Thanks for your help.

Do you have animations on the slide? If you have set some exit animations in
the slide, it won't play again the second time if you hyperlink them. Try
updating to the latest service pack. Click Help > Check for updates.
Alternately, check this out for a solution:

Thanks! This TOTALLY solves my problem.. being able to work around it is
great. But it brings me to another issue.

What happens is that my animation is actually a slideshow that is based on
slide transitions - not customised animation. But when I convert it to web
page, it does not run the animation on web browser. It only runs when I click
on the "slide show" icon on the bottom right.

I found the option that "turns on" animation in the web browser.. but it
applies only to the animation within a slide. Is there a way to let the show
run when I click on the hyperlink (eg, activated to trigger slides from slide
no. 2 to no. 18) WHILE it is on the browser?

Also, how do I get the hyperlink title to show? It shows BEFORE I convert to
web page while I test it on powerpoint show. But once I save as a web page,
the hyperlink title disappears. My explorer is version 6 so there shouldn't
be a problem - as it is stated it only shows in v. 4 onwards.

Someone PLEASE help!
