Initialising Text Boxes on slides

[Richard]

Can anybody help me, i'm trying to initialise text boxes
which i have placed in a slide and i want these boxes to
be initalised every time someone starts up the show, is
there anyway to do this in VB?
Thanks
Richard

What I generally do is have a button on the first slide that initializes
(or initialises if you aren't in the US) everything needed in the
presentation. All the user sees is that the button goes to another slide,
but the VBA is changing whatever it needs in the presentation behind the
scenes.

See some simple examples on my web site:

Example 6.8 is a good example of this (click on Examples by Chapter and
go to Chapter 6). If you put it in Kiosk mode, they'll have to click on
the button to do anything.
