Mouse over action in Powerpoint should allow floating text option

[Raphael Ibizugbe]

The "Action Settings" option in Powerpoint does not allow a floating text to
be specified on "Mouse Over" or "Mouse Click"
I have had to write macros to invoke external programs to generate a
"Floating text" when I move the mouse over components I need to describe in
detail during presentations.

I frequently use Powerpoint 2000 to present Telecom architecture and the
current features only allows a separate text box to be used to describe
presentation components which becomes extremely laborious when assigning the
custom animation for several components associated with several text boxes.

It would be great if Microsoft would develop a plug-in that would allow
"Floating Text" to be associated with other animation components via the
"Action Settings" option or via "Custom Animation"(Dim associated text
separately after animation). A placement holderassociated to the text at a
user determined position on the slide.

Many Many thnaks Microsoft !!!
