event handling in Power Point VBA

[Guest]

I am new to VBA. I have found in MS "Office 97 Visual Basic Programmer's Guide" book a statement that presentations and slides do not recognize events and, therefore, one has to use ActiveX to deal with events. It seems to be a severe limitation. Is it really the case

If so, does it mean that I cannot run a procedure on, e.g., changing a slide or switching to show mode, without using ActiveX

PowerPoint started supporting events from PPT2000 onwards. For 97 you would
have to resort to alternative methods.
