Slide list

[Guest]

Hi.

I'm using Powerpoint 2003. I'd like to display a bulleted list like the
following:

"Slide Title"
- Bullet 1 Desc
- Bullet 2 Desc
- Bullet 3 Desc

When the slide appears, I want to display the slide title and the bullets
but not the bullet descriptions. I then want to click on the bullet - in any
order - so that the description appears.

Thanx

Hector,
Didn't understand your question at first, but then realize: You need to look
into triggers. Set up the animation for the bulleted list. Then add a box
(or bullet) over top of the bullet. Change the animations for each line to
be triggered by the clicking of the box/bullet you added. There are a couple
of articles on my site about setting up triggers. Check them out:

Post back and let us know how it goes!

What you will probably need are three separate textboxes (or objects) that
have bullets and three other separate textboxes with the desired text. Then
you assign a Custom Animation for each textbox to be "triggered" by each of
the bullet textboxes (or objects).

Check out the HELP file on using Triggers for more info.
