Animation Problem When Returning To Slide

[Craiggy83]

Hello,

I am using PowerPoint 2010 (32bit). I have created a presentation which jumps mostly ahead, but sometimes it will jump back to previous slides. My problem is this: I click on a button on my first slide which jumps to my second slide. My second slide fills in 5 separate text fields as an animation (start with previous). This starts as soon as the slide starts and works correct the first time around. I then click say a button on the slide (button1), which generates two buttons (lets call them button2 and 3). Button 2 is generated as a trigger to Button 1 being pushed. Button3 (starts with previous) which is Button 2 in this case. So now we have two buttons (Button2 and Button3 as a result of Button1). If you click Button2, you jump to say slide 4. If you click Button 3, you jump to slide 4. The point is eventually we make it back to slide one to start over again. I click the same button on slide 1 which brings me to slide 2 again. This time the text fields are already filled in, and Button2 and Button3 on the slide already appear. I don't want this to happen. I want the same slide to appear as it did the first time around. Let me know if you can help me resolve this problem. I think it has to do with (start with previous), since all my other animations which operate off of triggers work fine.



Thank You,
