Slideshow Comments

[Daniel Rohwer]

Is there a way in PPT 2003 to do the following?

When showing a slide in presentation mode, I want to reveal additional
drill-in comments to a particularl point that is initially hidden. I'd like
to be able to toggle the comments by either hovering or double-clicking an
item.

I want something exactly like the markup "comment" available in normal view
mode, but I have to have it available in presentation mode. I know that ink
markup is visible in presentation mode, but this is not an option.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Daniel,
Have a look here:
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutoria...m#16. Display explanatory text on mouse-over
which is what I believe you need
The following two links explain how triggers work, clicking on an object to
reveal another, mind you only available in PPT2002/2003

Luc,

Thank you so much for your help. It looks like the hyperlink with bookmark
screen-tips could be exactly what I need.

Do you mind if I ask you a follow-on question? Is this process possible
programmatically via VBA?

I've got all my comments stored in a database and I would like to
automitically insert them into the slide at prescribed locations, and with a
text-box containing just the "i" for information symbol, that can reveal
additional comments during presentations as mouse-over screen-tips.

Regards,

Daniel

Daniel,
Sorry, but VBA is way out of my league. But maybe one of the regulars in
this newsgroup will be able to help.
