text box on slideshow

[Su ha via OfficeKB.com]

Can i create a textbox and user can input while slideshow

 

[Bill Foley]

Sure can, but it will require some sort of VBA code in order to do something
with that information. Depends on why you are wanting this as to the way to
accomplish it. For example, you can add a textbox from the Control Toolbox
(one of the toolbars) on your slide. You can also run a macro that opens a
UserForm, asking that information, then have code that does something with
that information (like use that text to populate a regular textbox on a
particular slide.

I do have a UserForm example at the link below if that is what you want. If
you have questions, holler back.

What Bill said, and ...

I have an example that uses a simple InputBox (it's still VBA, but it's
pretty easy VBA) to get input and put it on a slide. Check out Example
6.7 on my Web site at:

Click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 6" to find the example.
