Can I use MIDI to control slide shows in PowerPoint?

Guest

PowerPoint 2003. I would like to be able to control the slide show in
PowerPoint with my MIDI keyboards. There is currently a software program for
MAC versions of PowerPoint which accomplish this task. However, I have not
found anything for IBM. I have a little programming experience with Visual
Basic 6. It just seems that there should be a way to send a MIDI command
from a MIDI instrument which, when read, could generate a command to the
windows operating system to generate a mouse click for PowerPoint which would
result in the advancement to the next slide. My goal is to use PowerPoint to
display lyrics on a screeen that would change with a simple MIDI command that
I would program into the song on a dedicated MIDI track.
