run macros in slideshow

[Kworth]

Hey

I have created a macro, and now added under Action Setting, run macro
onklick, but when I now start my slideshow and click on that object
nothing happens.

But if I run the macro manually in the edit modus, then it works.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that, that it also works in the
slideshow?

(I want to get a newbox poping op when I click on an object)

THX for any help.

What does your macro do? Is it something that can only be done in Edit
Mode?

 

[Kworth]

It resize an object or make an object visible (change color) , both
doesn't work somehow, actually nothing that i tried worked on that
onklick, I need to create something that pops up when I click on
something to show infos about it, as I allready mentioned.

I could also do that with an animation (object action) but somehow that
doesn't work neither, btw. when I create an animation and click
on an object and then action settings he doesnt show me anything under
object action (greyed out)

Send me an email to (e-mail address removed) and I'll send you a
presentation that does just what your asking so you can modify it to
meet your needs.

I didn't get it. Sorry.

If you go to http://www.powerpointmagician.com, Downloads section, I've
posted several mouseover technique tutorials and files that might
help.

hmm thanks, but I couldnt find anything using macros, just those link
things, I don't want to link I want to really pop up (on the same
slide) because for my competition i'm just allowed to have 10slides and
i would have more then 10 popups alone, so I need to do this with
macros.

Do you have any suggestion how i could do that with macros?

 

[PPTMagician]

What is the info that needs to pop up?

If it's text, you can use screen tips.

Here's a link to a page that runs a presentation narrator macro using
the action settings. Maybe it can help you figure it out:

Hey i tried it now but dont get really smart of it.
I dont want that crapy narrorator figure running arround there,


and if i would have to use it,he doesnt react individually at different
things thats the problem

Thx so far

This will explain what I think is happening here:

Macros I record in Normal/Slide view don't work in Slide Show
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00159.htm

Short version: you can't select anything in slide show view, so any code
that relies on selecting shapes won't work
