VBA for PPT

[Albert Herremans]

I would like to try some simple VBA code to execute some simple actions in
PPT, like clicking on a button and so making an object appear or disappear
on the same slide (playing, I suppose, with the Visible and Invisible
properties)

I can easily find little books about VBA, but they generally show many
examples for Word and Excel, and just mention the possibility to use VBA
with PowerPoint as well, but not more

can anyone suggest me another way to learn what I wish to do?

thanks in advance

Albert

I've added a bit of example code to this:

Hello Albert,

If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003 you don't even have to
use VBA to create this desired effect. Simply use animation triggers along
Exit and Entry animation effects.

thanks, John, but I am still using PPT97 and cannot do otherwise for the
moment: the classroom in which I am teaching is equiped with rather old PCs
and Office97...
