How reset slides to restart from their first animation?

[Pinewhisp]

An interactive PowerPoint 2003 presentation I'm creating contains multiple
slides, each containing:

1) Multiple sequential animations (selecting one item at a time from a list
and displaying a text box specific for each list item). These animations are
all activated either "on click" or "with previous."

2) Hyperlink buttons to the previous and next slide---enabling the operator
to leave the slide at any point in the animation sequence (even if all
animations have not been run yet).

I would like for PowerPoint to restart from the first animation every time I
re-enter a slide that has previously displayed. What happens instead is that
PowerPoint remembers the animation where I left off and continues from
there---which is confusing if I am reentering a screen where all animations
previously ran because PowerPoint requires an Up-arrow or Page-up to back up
to the first animation in the slide's sequence of animations.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks for your time.

Have a look at the dummy/blank slide method here (the quick way):

and custom show method here (if you have many slides):
