adding a pop-up message box to powerpoint

[Guest]

Hi,

I know how to add a regular message box to my PP presentation, but I would
like a message box that pops up, and then goes away in a few seconds without
the user have to click anything...

Is this possible? If so, would you please let me know how to do it?

Thanks

Add the box give it an entrance animatioon say ascend - on click and then add
an exit animation - desend with previous and in timing add a delay of x
seconds. Needs XP onwards though
