Triggers and Function keys

[Melinda]

Is there a way to use function keys as triggers rather than a hyperlink or other clickable area on the slide? Using the mouse to find and click a "hidden" link is very distracting to the presentation. Thanks for any assistance,

Melinda

Melinda,

you can't assign actions or macros to any key in PowerPoint. But you could
use interactive Buttons or numbered squares lined up on one edge of your
slide to trigger your animations. Thus they are more clearly visible. Though
it's sometimes more "elegant" to hide those links.

Kind regards,
Ute

The TAB during a show seems to work very nicely. Who'd a thunk it?
Just a question on the order of the tabbing. It seems to start out
outlining the objects on the slide master. Does it go in the same order as
the object numbers that can be changed with "bring to front" |send to back"
etc.?
