Example of remembering previous slide to the LastSlideViewed slide when using buttons to jump around presentation. A response to microsoft.public.powerpoint user-group question. This is the simplest way I could think of, and isn't particularly universal but can be adapt3ed to your needs.. cheers, Kyle.

1. A Jump to T “ Jump to T” – do following Action Settings MouseClick : Hyperlink to Slide… T ALT-F11: See macro code Macro Security: Medium or lower In response to Q from Thomas. (link) my problem seems to be: the target slide is T, and is linked T->R, T->S (text hyperlinks) i also linked A->T B->T (text hyperlinks) (many other slides could be linked to T) I placed a button to T that is linked to Last Slide Viewed, I cannot place a button for each previous slide cause they are many. Buttons to R and S is hardly linked to slide T. When I go A->T or B->T i can go back with the Last Slide Viewed button, but: if i go eg. A->T->R obviously i cannot return to A, because the Last Viewed Slide button makes a loop between T and R. scripted on PowerPoint 2003
