Mouse Over effects while running a presentation

lancero95 · Jul 16, 2004

Hi. I want to build a presentation where I can insert an explanatory comment or field for certain objects that would be displayed on the presentation when the mouse passes over the object.

Thank You

Sonia,
Thanks a lot, great tip!! it works for most of my purposes. What about if I want to display another powerpoint object with a mouse over action? I know how to do it with clicks but I have not been able to find a way around doing it just with the mouse over.

Thanks and great site!!!

You can set a mouse over action to hide or show a shape using a small
amount of VBA code. Examples 6.4, 6.6, and 6.8 at my site use VBA code
to hide and show.

They don't do it on a mouse over effect, but they could.
