Since you can't select objects during a slideshow, is there a way to change
aspects of a slide with macros during a slideshow; i.e., change the fill
color of an oval, or must that code always be run in the editor?
Thanks.

Hi Tom.

Sure can. You have to reference the shape by index number (not usually
practical) or by name.

For example, this will change Rectangle 4 on slide 3's fill to magenta

' watch word wrap ... should be all on one line
ActivePresentation.Slides(3).Shapes("Rectangle 4").Fill.ForeColor.RGB =
RGB(204, 0, 255)
 
If you use PowerPoint 2002/2003 then you don't need code to do something
like that. Check out the Emphasis animations.
