Trigger a Macro

[Wi11y13]

Is there a way to trigger a macro after the transition to a slide. I would
like to use a hyperlink to get to the slide and then once the slide (in the
slide show) appears on the scrren have a macro triggered "without" user
intervention.

If you're using a hyperlink to get to the slide, why not just have the
button with the hyperlink use code for the hyperlink and run the macro?
Otherwise, you are going to get into trapping events.

The "proper" way woulod be to write an event handler but really this would
work better in an add in and isn't that easy to code.

There are some links here http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00004.htm

A cheat way might be to have a shape appear with say a wipe animation with
previous that triggers a mouse over action > run macro. You would want to be
sure the mouse was visible (it should be if you just clicked a link)
