So I'm finishing up a powerpoint that's due tomorrow. I have a few different bullets on one slide.

[Image: http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii107/LOVE__gaara_of_the_desert/slide.png]

What I basically want to do is have the first bullet, Drums, come up, then switch to a different slide with a picture of a drum, then go back to the above slide, add the next bullet, switch to a picture slide, and so on until I cover all the bullets on that slide. I don't even know how to go about Googling it, so maybe someone can help me out. :/
I tried learning how to branch, but it didn't work. So I'm kind of at a loss.

You would be easier off breaking that above slide into many slides. It is possible to refer back to a slide but it's just not worth it.

Are you going to be like talking about the different things along with the powerpoint?

Could you not just put each sentence (or w/e) in a different text box as well as a picture and just put animations that activate after each click?

So basically 14 different objects on 1 page. Though not sure if you can do a 'disappear when you click' button.

My group will add stuff to each point/slide in the powerpoint as we present.

I could do something like that, but I'm kinda OCD in having the header say that these things are instruments and list them then go to pictures, not just go straight into them. If that makes sense it doesn't.

In this situation since branching didn't work... I would A) Highlight Ani with a picture appearing then disappearing, B)Change your Slide Style and as the text comes up have pictures come up after each(Worked great for a 80s History PP) or C) What Paul Said.

Copypaste that slide about 7 times and you're good.
