followed action button

[davegray]

I want an action button to change color after being followed. Changing to
followed link color would be fine.

 

[David M. Marcovitz]

There are two ways (that I can think of) to do this. One would be to have a
second identical action button (except with the different color) set to
have an entrance effect that is triggered by the first action button. This
will work in PPT 2002 and later.

The other way is to use macros to change the color of the action button.
Let me know if you want some sample macros.

Triggers should do the work. You can use the emphasis to change font colour
of the action button, then go to timing and set the triggers (start effect on
click of)

Which version of PPT are you using? If you are using PPT 2002 or later, you
can use a triggered emphasis animation to do this. Information on triggers
can be found in these articles:
