Input to Powerpoint

[Emma Hope]

Hi,

Hope someone can help, i want to do something like this:

click a button
show an input box
be able to type in "something"
then put the "something" onto the powerpoint slide

So i type in "Emma"

& then on the slide it says "Hello Emma"

i tried what i thought was the right code on a button but when i click,
nothing happens.

Please can you help!

Post your code so we can see if the problem lies in the code. You can
see examples of this on my site:

http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/

Click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 6." You can would be most
interested in Examples 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8.

David,

That's great! Thanks!

I looked at your code & i had exactly the same, i tried your examples & the
same result....nothing!

I couldn't understand it until, i remembered the blinding obvious! My macros
setting was set to 'high'.... doh!!!

But at least your examples confirmed i was doing the right thing & then i
looked at the others & learned a lot more!

Thanks very very much!
Emma
