VBA: Capture/catch keyboard events to activate macro

[Kevin Dufendach]

Is it possible to use VBA to catch when a user presses a certain key?
Specifically, I would like to reassign the up and down arrow keys to
run a macro when they are pressed during presentation view mode.
Looking around, I think it might have something to do with Keyboard
Hooks, but I've certainly never used those before and can't find an
example.

Look at Shortcut Manager at
http://officeone.mvps.org/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html - it allows you to assign
keys/key combinations to run macros in your presentations and add-ins.

Is it possible to create something that's stored within the
presentation itself? I'm planning on distributing this presentation,
and it's not practical to ask the user to install an add-in.

Thanks,
