PowerPoint 365

Question

During a presentation one slide that had a lot of animations, I was asked to repeat the same slide. Is there a command similar to "reload" in PowerPoint? I couldn't find the solution!!! Please help!!!!

Answer 1

If you are prepared to use code you can also have a button which runs some short vba code.

Code would be (only works in show mode)

Sub reset()

Dim curr As Long

curr = SlideShowWindows(1).View.CurrentShowPosition

SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide (curr), ResetSlide:=True

End Sub

Answer 2

Unfortunately, Anna doesn't seem to understand PowerPoint very well.

When you go BACK to a slide, PowerPoint assumes that you don't want to replay all the animations (that your audience has already seen) so it returns you to the final animation state for the slide.

You can probably go back to the slide just before the one you want and then move forward one (I haven't tested this one, to be honest)

Or if you only need to do this on a few slides, add a duplicate of the slide just BEFORE the slide and give it a 0 second transition.

I understand Miguel but there is no command to reload the slide presentation at the end of the slide show. The only way to start the slide again without exiting the slide is to click on 1 + Enter, this takes you back to the beginning of the slide presentation

For more shortcut commands, you can press the F1 key during a presentation, or please see the link below

Hi Miguel I'm Anna and I'd be happy to help you with your question. If I am right, I see you would like to repeat or jump to a specific slide during a presentation. Here how Go to a specific slide Type the slide number, then press Enter. Mouse (version 2013 or newer): Right-click a slide, select See All Slides and then click the slide you want to display to the audience. Mouse (versions 2010, 2007): Right-click a slide, point to Go to Slide, and then click the slide you want to display to the audience. Please see the link to learn more https://support.microsoft.com/office/ff9d6d4e-7bec-49c1-95e3-95a416be26f4 I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough with the question:
Suppose I am in a class (I am a teacher) and I have a slide with animations. At the end of my talk someone asks me to see the SAME slide one more time.
I couldn't find a way to reload THE SAME slide and start showing the same slide again without exiting and re-entering the presentation.
I'm talking about a reload type command
Thank you
