Hyperlink & mouse over/ screen tip

G

Guest

Does anyone know how i can add an action button (return) that will
a) Return to last viewed slide AND
b) allow me to enter text "Click here to return to last viewed slide" to appear when the mouse is brought to hover over the icon/action button

if i use the action button i cant add any text and
if i use a blank rectangle, on adding a hyperlink i am able to type in text ('Screen Tip') but alas the 'last viewed slide' doesnt appear in the list of link to slides

help - am i going mad or is this an advanced problem or is powerpoint 2000 simply lacking ?

cheers

Hmm, I'm not sure this is possible. Just tried messing in
Visual Basic and it says that having a ScreenTip for an
Actionbutton is not valid. Equally, using
ppActionlastSlideViewed is not valid for a "normal" box.

Sorry this isn't much help - hope someone else knows a
way round this one.

The best you can do for the link is Previous slide, if you want to use a
screen tip. You could, however, create a rectangle and while it is
selected, type the text right on the rectangle and use Action Settings >
Hyperlink > Last Viewed.
