Is there a way to have a slide go to the previous slide on click?

[Lori]

I am trying to do a type of "online class" and want to be able to have the
presentation move to the previous slide when they click on an arrow I have
titled "Previous". Is this possible? And if so, is it possible to have this
on the same slide as an arrow titled "Next" that moves to the next slide that
is on the same slide.

Thanks for your help!

Select the "Previous" arrow and in 2002/3 Slide Show > Action Settings and
set the action to Hyperlink to previous slide (I don't have 2002/3 right now
so my memory may be off on the exact wording)

Do the same (choosing hyperlink > Next) for the other arrows.

In 2007 you can find this at Insert tab > Action

Much appreciated, John! That's exactly what I needed.

One other thing....When I save the powerpoint in .xps the hyperlinks that I
made to go to previous and next page don't work (I used
Action-hyperlink-previous/next page). But the hyperlinks that go to another
document/web page do. Any ideas on why that is the case and how to make it
work?
