Creating Interactive Shows

You can use a combination of Manual Control, Action at End of Slide, and
14
Caption Interactivity to make a show that your viewer can interact with.
It’s just a matter of connecting slides and their actions together.
Here’s a suggestion:

You can create an interactive gallery. Make a slide in your show
which displays all of the various images you want them to be able
to see. Set this slide to Manual Control so that it pauses when
they’ve reached the end of it.
For each image in the gallery, provide a caption which says
something like “Learn More Here”. Set an Action for the caption
which will use Jump to Slide. Create a new slide that has a close-
up of that image and some information about it. Assign the
Destination for Jump to Slide to that slide number.

Finally, add an Action at End of Slide which is a Jump to Slide.
Have this one jump back to the slide you’re using as the “hub” of
the gallery. For each interactive image you want to include, you’ll
make another one of the “close up” slides that you just read
about. It creates an experience that your viewer can actually
interact with rather than just watch.

14 Caption Interactivity is detailed in Chapter 10.
