Loop through animations changing images with each pass?

Question

I have a slide that is animated like this:

An image shape appears on the slide simultaneously with a text shape, then they both fade away together and another image and text are shown and so on. The slide is in a repeating slide show, so the animation is in a continues loop. 

On the second pass of the loop, I'd like to show the same text shapes, but different images that go with them, then the same thing on the third pass, and fourth pass. I have only 4 images for each text, so after the 4th pass, the whole thing would repeat again.

I have experience in VBA, but not in PowerPoint VBA. I can easily imagine doing something like this in VBA but have so far not found a way that PowerPoint allows it. I have found no animation object that I can loop through, for example. Is there one? If not, is there some other way? Either in VBA or otherwise. It would be nice if Microsoft just created some loop object you could put into an animation...

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Yes, you could program this, but it's much faster and simpler to just duplicate the repeating section 3 times and place new pictures in the extra slides.
