Info Textbox

[Bikash]

Hello!

I would like to create a little info text box on several slide. Each box
should popo up after clicking a particular action button. The box that I want
to pop up should be small and displayed so that the rest of the slide is
still visible.

How can I do it?
Do I need VBA for this?

Thanks a lot

Bikash

Not if you have ppt XP or later. You can use an entrance animation triggered
by a click on the button

Set the custom animation for the entrance , double click the entry and find
triggers in the timing tab

Hi John,

thanks for the quick reply. The idea is briliant. Unfortunately I am using a
kiosk presentation. The user can navigate only by using action buttons. Your
suggestion does not work with kiosk.

Do you have an idea how to have a help/info box connected to an action button?

Cheers,
Bikash Frost

My original suggestion should work in kiosk mode. Make sure the animation is
triggered not "on click"

John,

it didn't answer my question totally. I want that info button to be used
optionally. Am I making a mistake?

Cheers,
