MsgBox Alternatives

[K J Boland]

First thanks to Steve and Shyam for answers on other questions.

I am using the MsgBox to show progress (e.g changing links etc).
Is there either a way to use StatusBox (as in Excel) or a MsgBox where no
"O.K" is required - i.e only a straight information box.

thanks

If you are using PPT 2000 and later you can use a modeless userform with a
label control.

What Shyam said. And if you're stuck in '97, you could create a toolbar with
one button, button style set to text only and the button's caption set to
whatever text you want the user to see.
