Hyperlink to original slide

[Biology Student]

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003: I have over 30 hyperlinks throughout my PowerPoint
that all go to the last five slides (definition slides). Is there any way to
go back to the original slide you were at before you clicked the hyperlink? I
have 70 slides altogether and it would be very inconvenient if you had to
click the back button 60 times. Any suggestions would help, I dont have very
much time left! Thanks.

One suggestion:
Instead of linking directly to the definition slides, put them in a custom
show and link to that. When you link to the custom show, you can do a "Show
and Return" which will run through the show and then return to the slide
that called it. IF you don't plan to show all five slides, put an "End Show"
button on each of the five definition slides. This works because ending the
custom show will also return you to the calling slide if show and return is
set up.

To set up your custom show, do Slide Show--> Custom Show.

Post back if you need more information....

Apart from what Kathy and Steve mentioned, you can right-click the
presentation in slide show mode and choose the Last Viewed option.

If you want to do this with the keyboard, you can press the right-click key
that most new keyboards have (or Shift F10) followed by "V".
