Grouping Objects

[Guest]

Here's one that might stump the band! I am taking individual JPGs and
grouping them together on one slide into different groups. I then am trying
to animate a pop up text to give spec details on each group. ( I just use the
'appear' and 'disappear' animations. It works great) My problem is that when
I want to assign the pop up spec sheet to a group, I don't know what the
group numbers are that the list pull down menu gives. So rather than guessing
all #$%%$#@@$ day long, I fugred I give this group a shot. As a side
question, if this idea turns out to be a pain in the butt, how and what
ActiveX Control could I use to click on and have a list pop up describing the
group that the control is in ( or on)? Thanks all!!

I'm not sure what you mean by the pop up spec sheet, but you can rename groups
and shapes; if you do that, then in at least some dialogs, PPT will show you the
name you've given rather than the one it assigned.

Grab the free PPT2HTML demo at http://ppt2html.pptools.com
It includes an Accessability assistant tool that lets you rename, reorder and do
all manner of other useful stuff with the shapes on your slides.

Might be just the ticket. If not, well ... it's free. ;-)
