John,

Thanks for the suggestion but it has not solved the issue. Basically it is behaves pretty much as the next slide event....... runs for first loop and then stops BUT then won't even advance on click.

You would not believe how much time I've spent trying to understand this. It worked for 5 years for goodness sake!!! The presentation was needed for today and so yesterday I stopped repeatedly playing with show settings, timings, questioning my code etc etc. in the hope that I would hit upon something and applied a more controlled approach. The upshot was that I determined that within the NextSlide event code I could move any object I wanted (whilst looping show) bar for the one I wanted, i.e. the MainBoard. Then it occurred to me that the MainBoard was the only object that was being animated, albeit with just a simple fade in / fade out.

When I removed the animation the show happily looped continuously and moved / updated the MainBoard object!!! This applied with both the NextSlide event and your suggested OnSSPageChange.

A little tweaking got me up and running for today but you now see the board repositioning, rather than have it fade out to reveal a nice logo before seamlessly fading back, repositioned and updated.

This one setup handles many competitions and there are others that are similar but dedicated so I now need to take a look at those.

It seems odd to me that 2013 is handling this all so differently? Whilst I remain curious as to why, I am accepting that it is probably best for me to amend them all and be done with it.

If you do come across an explanation then I would be interested to hear it.

Thanks again for your time and interest.

Tony
