Problem description: Imagine following situation:: In my Impress presentation I am showing slide N, Because and only because of the discussion I want to show additionally (e.g.) 2 slides, in one sequence, and then return to my slide N exactly in the status the slide N was before I left it. (I grouped these 2 slides in a custom show and call it CustShow.) To start CustShow I want to click on text or button on slide N After the last slide of the CustShow I want to show again slide N of the (main) presentation. I want an automatic return to slide N, which should be exactly in the status it was, when I left the slide N. (Slide N should not start from the beginning.) I personally keep the slides for my custom show(s) at the end of my main presentation in a section I call "LinkedSlides". Howeve, idealy the CustShow could also be located somewhere on the PC. In Impress I looked into "interaction" and "hyperlink" but could not find a way to show CustShow and return to my slide N from where I wanted to branch. I had to create another link at the end of my CustShow to return to slide N. Thus, slide N always starts from the beginning. Let me please also explain what I did in In MS PowerPoint:before I switched over to LO 1- created a custom show 2 - created a text box or button at the slide from where I wanted to start the custom show 3 - hyperlinked text box (or button) with the custom show and set a flag to return to the starting slide in the main presentation. What I would like to have as an enhancement is a copy of the described PowerPoint functionality. As usual, I am willing to test this feature if I can install a LibO version parallel to my production version. Operating System: Windows XP Version: 3.6.5.2 release

Thanks for that information. Please inform me in due time on the version to be tested.

I am aware of the fact that LibO is a project of volunteers. And the great devs we have are never enough. I currently can't sit down on learn how to write codes. But maybe in a few years time I can do so. In the meantime my support is limited to bug reporting, posting enhancement request, trying to answer questions in AskLibO , and offering my help for testing the enhancement requests..... So the version with this enhancement request might come up in a few month or a few years.... my offer stays and I hope to be able to test it also in a few years.... I am not 25 anymore....

Weeks??? I expected within a few hours!!!! Just kidding!
marked as enhancement request
Thanks!!!!
Same reporter opened 2 bugs for the same issue. It didn't help, it just cluttered Bugzilla. Since there's more general talk here, I mark this one a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 78518 ***
