Action setting to open an email

[Stever]

Hello,
Is there an easy way to create an "email" button that
when clicked within the slide show, lauches a pre-
addressed email? I'm using PPTXP and plan to distribute
the show on CDROM with Viewer2003.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Stever,

Thank you in advance!

as easy as inserting a hyperlink: Create the object you like (AutoForm,
button, text, image, etc.), right mouseclick, choose "hyperlink" from
context menu, the last option on the left is "mail to".

Kind regards,
Ute

Thanks Ute!
That works! Can I still have the button react to a mouse
click like an Action Setting, i.e. make a sound and
hilite color when clicked in the show?

yes, define Animations for that, you'll find "Change Color" with the
Emphasis Animations and can combine it with sound.

Kind regards,
