[Solved] Going backwards ina custom animation

Post by FredParmenter »

Sometimes I click too quickly on my mouse and two custom animations flash by. I want to back up one. Or another way to put it is that I want to undo the second mouse click. Is there a way of doing in that?

A guess: try /Edit /Undo, or press Ctrl Z.

The issue I was talking about occurs during the presentation, not during the development of my presentation where Ctrl-Z can undo my latest change. My problem occurs when, during a presentation I have clicked three or four times, and then want to go back to what the screen looked like jsut before the last click.

The Help file says, under Presenter Screen shortcuts
Previous slide, or previous effect
Right click, left arrow, up arrow, page up, backspace, 'P'
You'll have to experiment to see if these work for you.

Problem solved! Thank you so much! I tried right clicking my mouse and that didn't offer a "Previous effect" option. But the backspace worked perfectly! Now I don't have to worry about being nervous, going too fast with my mouse clicks, and missing the pause I want. Thanks again!
