Play six text effects one slide not in sequence

[turnerrw]

I need to create a presentation slide with a header and six animated text effects that can be triggered in random order, not not in sequence. Is there a way to create a slide that will allow you to selecting the animated text effects to be activated, other than following the order of the sequential list in custom animation? Possibly by macros or hyperlink? I know an alternative could be is to create twenty two slides and use the page number and enter to activate the information needed. A lot of work and potential for error during presentation.

The request was for one slide - one trigger - with 6 randomised animations instead of following the linear order of animations on the same slide. As it is now, to have 6 animations set to one trigger, user has to set a trigger plus six animations. Those six animations will always follow in a linear order as ordered on the animations side pane by the user. The request was for a random process instead of set linear order of appearance.

I don’t use Impress very much, so here are two assumptions that I believe are true:

1. I don’t believe one has to go through a list of slides linearly
2. One can create “master”/template slides that contain shared basic information

Assuming I’m right about (1) and (2), you could create 1 template slide with the header and 6 hyperlinks like this:

+---Template-Slide------------------+
|                                   |
|              HEADER               |
|                                   |
| <link>                     <link> |
|                                   |
| <link>                     <link> |
|                                   |
| <link>                     <link> |
|                                   |
+-----------------------------------+

Then make 6 derivatives of that template and put a single animation/text effect on each slide. Factor-out as much of the content as possible to the template, to avoid duplication and speed-up design.
