Hide text or delete via VBA during slideshow

[Guest]

I have a slide with a text box on it. Is there a way for a macro to adjust
the properties of the text (make it a different color) when it is clicked
during a slide show. I want to assign a macro to the text box (on mouse
click via Action Settings...) i am familiar with VBA for apps like excel,
but not PP. TIA.

You do not need a macro to do this, simply use animation triggers.

If you have PPT 2002 or later then the effect can be achieved using
animation triggers. If you want to execute some code when a particular shape
is clicked during slideshow you can use the following:
Determine which shape was clicked

As the other say you can just use an emphasis animation triggered by a click
on it or something else. If youre not familiar with triggers, in custom
anmimation double click the text box and choose timing > triggers

If you do decide to go against everyone's advice and take the VBA route,
you might want to check out Example 6.8 on my Web Site
(http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/). It isn't exactly what you want, but
it does have a part that changes text color of a text object (in the
EyeColor and HairColor procedures, the color of some text changes if the
user guesses one of the predetermined colors).
