Note: All of the following assumes you are using PPT 2002 or later and
have
the ability to do triggered animations!
I just ran a quick test. You can set up buttons to move forward and back
in
your presentation (right click your shape, hyperlink, place in this
document, previous slide/next slide). You can even set up triggered
animations so that clicks on a shape initiate your animations (and
triggers
are able to be repeated when you re-enter a slide). However, it does
appear
that you cannot merely set the presentation to Kiosk mode and have that
transfer over to the HTML.
I thought you could cheat the around the problem of clicks going to the
next
slide after the animations have all been run by adding an empty box to
the
background to capture clicks. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work
quite
that easily. Instead here are the steps:
1) Add a rectangle (A) the size of your slide to each slide. Set it to be
95% transparent or higher and give it no line.
2) Add a shape (B) off the first slide (on the gray background)
3) Give B an entrance animation
4) Set B's animation to be triggered by A
5) Copy B and paste to each of your other slides
Now, when you click the slide, an animation happens off the screen. No
matter how many times you click it, the animation will repeat, instead of
the slide moving forward. I really wish this worked from the master
slide,
but I couldn't get it to do so.
Let us know if this gets you closer.

Hi, Michael!
The problem is not re-run the animation, but run animations using ONLY
buttons, in HTML mode, with NO keyboard interaction (PgUp or PgDn
keys).
Using standard solutions in PPT I can change to another slide with
buttons,
but the problem remains when we have animations into one slide. If the
user
click that button, the slide changes. The user must have another pair
of
buttons with the same functionality of PgUp or PgDn keys to trigger
animation
steps.
I can do this in normal Slide Show using macros, but it not works in
HTML.
Is there a way to do this work in HTML?
:
Not sure about the web stuff. But in regular mode if you want the
animations
tobe re-run when you go back to a previous slide you have to put in a
blank
slide with zero timings of transitions before the slide with all the
animations and link back to the blank slide. this puts you at the
beginning
of your animations

Michael,
Good try, but that is not I need. In that presentation the buttons
does
GoNextSld() or GoPreviousSld() java functions, and this I can made
easily
using hyperlinks. The problem is when I have custom animations, not
automatic, into one slide. In this case you can use PgDn (or mouse
click,
or
ENTER) to go ahead or PgUp to go back through the animation steps,
but
the
idea, as the user must be in kiosk mode, is to do this using
buttons,
not
to
change slides (only), but to control animation steps.
I searched several PPT samples but I couldn't see anything useful in
this
case...

I'd made this, Michael, using macro assigned to buttons. It works
well
when
you use Slide Show, but, as you know, it don't work in HTML. The
problem
is
exactly this: how to make this kind of buttons that works in HTML?
:
You have to build your buttons into your PowerPoint presentation
and
then
publish to a html file

I'm trying to make a template intended to make presentations to
be
converted
to HTML to be used as WBT (web based training). The idea is to
give
to
the
users only the option to navigate trhough buttons. To forward or
go
back
trhough slides is ok. The problem is when in a slide we have
animations. The
idea is that each animation step is triggered when the user click
a
button to
go forward or go back, instead of to using PgDn or PgUp keys.
Anyone knows how to do this without change the HTML generated
files?
It
means, the solution for this must be in the template.
Thank you!
