assigning shortcut keys for macros in powerpoint.

[Anil Kumar]

Hi,
I have created a button on the standard toolbar, which on click runs a
macro. This part is working fine. Now what I need is to assign a shortcut key
for macros in powerpoint.
I have checked the add-in available at www.officeone.com, That's exactly
what I need but I can't afford to purchase that add-in. Could anybody help me
in explaining the logic, so that I can create an add-in myself through VBA
code.
Could anybody help me in identifying the resources available on the internet
which could help me in this objective.

Regards,
Anil Kumar

Hi Anil,

I don't know how much you earn per hour in your job. But how long would it
take to program such an add-in yourself? Some hours at least. Plus testing
and debugging. Considering this, I would call the price of Chirag's add-in
only fair.

Just my 2cts worth ...

Kind regards,
Ute

Hi Ute,

Thanks a lot for your advice, you have a valid point and you seem to be a
working guy. As far as my earning is concerned, I am not earning anything. I
am just a VBA beginner trying to do my college project. I would have really
appreciated if you could have helped me with your logic/suggestions(if any).
So now, if u have any constructive suggestions in this regard then pls. reply.

Through this mail I would request other discussion group members to put in
their suggestions, in order to finish my project.

Warm regards.
Anil

Thanks a lot Steve, your explanation will definitely help in convincing the
teacher.
As a matter of fact, now I have got eager enough to implement the shortcut
functionality myself. I know it is gonna be difficult and might take lot of
my time but I am ready to take the challenge. Where there's will, there's a
way. Now as the first step, I want to know where to begin with, is there a
solution possible at all through VBA or would I have to use COM for it? In
past few days, I have done enough research and feel that natively it can't be
done. It does require some alternative means.
Please share your thoughts and suggest if you could.
I would also request other group members to pour in their valuable
suggestions.

Thanking you,
Anil
