Custom shows and action settings

Hi
I have created a presentation, and now am customising various 'shows' from it.
So, I have one show that is the full presentation.
I am making some shorter shows for shorter events.
I can make an action button to take me through to the full presentation (or to some other document), should I want to expand on a particular point, to but how will I get back to my shorter presentation once I've done that? (I don't want to my full presentation to be peppered with buttons to take me to a variety of other custom presentations!)
Cheers
Janet

RE: custom shows and action settings

Hi Janet,

Thank you for your question.

Are you creating the custom shows from within the same presentation ie. using the Slide Show Menu and Custom shows or are you creating and saving separate presentations?

Regards

Simon

from within the same presentation using the slide show menu

thanks

RE: custom shows and action settings

Hi Janet,

Thank you for the response regarding the presentations.

You could create a slide that contains bullet points and lines of text representing each presentation and create hyperlinks on each line of text to the corresponding presentation.

Then create an action button in the Slide Master so that it appears on every slide that takes you to this bulleted slide.

Alternatively if you right click over your presentation you can access the custom shows though there.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

RE: custom shows and action settings

thanks Simon. Yes, I am already using that sort of system on individual presentations with an index page at the end with hyperlinks. So I could do something similar with all the presentations on it. Why didn't I think of that before! Thanks.
