Powerpoint for Visually impaired

[KBW]

I had hoped to use Powerpoint to develop an interactive
on screen brochure (nothing too grand) that although
shows visually programme information about our Leisure
Centre, - is also linked to a series of sound files that
actually reads out the information.

A set of menus would be developed using say - the
function keys. (hot keys)

Here's the problem, I had hoped to use 'hot keys' as
hyperlinks to the chosen menu option and automatically
run another sound file after the key is pressed.

Problem is I dont think I can specify 'hot keys' as
hyperlinks. (Example 'Press F4 for opening times...')
unless you know any different?

Can anybody help or point me at some 'interactive type
brochures' that have already been done using this
technique or something similar in Powerpoint. I really
appreciate your help here.

Many thanks

KBW

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for
without resorting to VBA or add-ins.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
VBA or add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

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