Run animation without click

[Makobex]

I using PowerPoint 2003 for a long time, yet I don't know how to run an
animation when my mouse pass over a bottom or a picture. For example I
have a slide with one picture and one bottom, when I put my mouse over
the bottom the picture will make an animation effect without being
clicked. Is it possible even with macros?

It is possible to do this without macros, but it is a little tricky.

First,
Select the slide to have the mouse-over animation trigger, lets call it
slide #3
make a copy of it (slide #4)
Hide slide #4
On slide #4, set the transition to appear.
On slide #4, set the first animation to advance after previous
On slide #3 , use an action settings mouse-over the image to jump to the
hidden slide #4

Now, when you go to slide #3, you can manually advance the animation or just
mouse over the image.

If you mouse over the image, the slide show advances to slide #4 (which
looks identical so there is no noticeable change) and the animation begins.

Does this sound clear? It is all smoke and mirrors, but works very
effectively.

Thanks for replay.

That's is very good strategy, but the problem is that I'm using
animated effect on objects like putting a picture rotating and that
make the people notice that there is a slide change. Macro would be my
best choice but I don't know if it is possible.
