Re: [libreoffice-users] custom shows within a slide show - impress

As promised here the information on how I created a work-around.

Copied slides for custom shows into a special section of the presentation after the last slide of 
the main presentation.
Created a text (name of a custom show) and used interaction with "go to page".
Used slide 1 of the custom show as target.
At the last slide of the custom show I added the text "return". Using interaction "go to page" and 
jumped back to the page from where I started the custom show.

Disadvantage against MSO:
- One needs to create an interaction to return; in MSO one can just flag return to start (or 
similar)
- The slide from which one jumps to the custom show will start from the beginning.

I just hope that there is an enhancement in the near future.
