hot key or press to happen

[DarrellS via OfficeKB.com]

Just wanted to repost this to see if I can get anymore options. I am trying
to get my powerpoint to respond to the press of a key on the keyboard to do
an action on my page. I currently have macro's set up to fill in a label
with information when a button is press.

my design concept is based on family feud and I want to show an answer just
as they would on the real game show...in other words, without showing mouse
movement. the responses I got on my previous post informed me that this can
only be done through a add on. the problem I have with this thou is that I
am with a corporation that does not permit downloading or installing of
information not approved by corporate. I have heard thou that it is possibly
possible to do it using a if statement that involves ASCII. If someone has a
alternate method it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for everyones help in the future and for that given in the past.

Then you may as well quit now. Doing this WILL require programming and if
you are not allowed to do so there is no way to get what your after.

I can program, such as macros and so on, but I am not allowed to download or
add software (such as an addin) without permission.
