Add a picture to a slide and have it pop out after a click?

[jhankinson@nyaaa]

I want to add employee photos to a slide that just contains their name. I
want to be able to click on the name and have their picture pop from the
background.

Which version of PPT are you using?

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, you can do this with animation
triggers. Set the pictures to animate and under the timing options,
choose Triggers. Have each picture triggered by the text box with the
name.

If you are using an older version of PowerPoint, this can be done with
VBA. The VBA isn't too hard, but VBA is hard in general if you've never
done it before. See Example 6.6 on my Web site for a simple example:

Just click on Examples by Chapter and Chapter 6 to find the example.
