CP5: Welcome screen with repeating text animation until click

Would it be possible in a CP5 project to have a first welcome slide that shows an animated text like "Welcome to ..." for about 40 secondes with effect "Typing Text". The animation should restart every minute until a button is clicked? I tried several settings but until now I could not get a working solution.

Hello,

Is it really important that the Text Animation starts every minute (which would mean for 40sec that it only plays once), or could you just activate 'loop' in the dialog box for the Text animation? I tried this out:

created a slide of about 40sec
inserted the Text animation with 'loop' activated
added a click box and an rectangle instead of a button; both timed for the duration of the slide. Contrary to a button, he click box has its pausing point near the end of the slide. The rectangle is only there to have a visual clue for the user. Of course you could replace it by a Text Caption too.

"just activate 'loop' in the dialog box for the Text animation" is what I tried first, but with this and the click box I found 3 problems:

1) When the text animation (typind) is completed it immediately restarts from scratch; the complete text does not stay for a while.

2) I intend to have only presented the slide heading and footing from the master slide continousely, but the text animation being repeated once a minute with a pause of about 20 seconds before starting again.

3) When the click box comes up, the repetition of the text animation stops as well.

Just to clarify my situation and intention: I enter the classroom and set up the technical environment for the presentation; while the students are entering the classroom (may be this lasts for about 15 minutes) I want to show the welcome slide with the text animation;

a) typing effect (about 20 secondes),

b) have the text shown stable (about 20 seconds),

c) clear the text and have only heading and footing (about 20 seconds),

and these 3 steps repeated until I click to whatever in order to start over to the next slide.

Hello again,

Hope I did understand your question this time. You cannot change the duration of the animation itself, if you do not loop the animation will play once and the text will then remain fixed, as you already know without a doubt. What do you mean by 'animation for 20 sec'? You could time an effect, but not a Text animation, and I understood you inserted this with Typing text as animation.

The rest I did work out this way:

inserted the Text animation without looping, and timed it to stay 40sec on the slide
the last 20 seconds only the objects on the master slide will be visible
to get back to the start of the slide after having finished it, I attached a simple Advanced action to the Exit of the slide; this action send the playhead back to the first frame of the project, in this case the first frame of the welcome slide. I think it is best not to use any transition.
put a button on the slide (or a click box if you want it not to be visible) to break the loop, that button sends the playhead to the next slide.
