Mouse-Over Animation

[Daniel E. Namay]

Hi. I'm trying to put a slide together with LOTS of info on it. What I
want to do is have a detail info box (text box or other object) appear
on the same slide as the original objects when I place my mouse over
each object, and disappear when the mouse is moved off of each object.

Is this possible in PP? I haven't been able to find any way of doing this.

TIA

Hi Daniel,

I have a tutorial for "extreme" mouse-overs on my web site
at:
www.powerpointmagician.com
It's under the articles section

There are also several examples under the download section
including one of stupid mouse sticks.

HTH,
Glenna

I really appreciate it. Between you and Geetesh, I should be able to

I have a similar question - is it possible to show an image (like a
extension of an Org chart) with a mouse over? My goal is to show a
image with a mouse over WITHOUT adding additional pages to the slid
file. (It's almost like a website feature where you see a menu behin
a menu).

Thanks,
JL

Hello,

The Action Settings for mouse over do not include the option to simply
display text or to make a text box appear and disappear (rollover effect).
Also "Mouse on" and Mouse off" are not valid triggers for animation effects
either. As others have indicated there are a variety of workarounds with
different limitations.

However, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as
to improved rollover/mouse-over capabilities in PowerPoint, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
