Using Buttons

[Larry S]

I want to do something that I hope is simple. I want to
create a button on a powerpoint presentation(using
PowerPoint 2000). This button will make a rectangle
either appear or disappear. If the rectangle is there,
the button will make the rectangle disappear. If the
rectangle is not there, the button will make the rectangle
appear. Can this be done?

The simplest way is to have two slides. Set the "Action Setting" of the
first button to go to the next slide (which has the rectangle on it), then
set the "Action Setting" of the button on the next slide to return to the
first slide (which doesn't have the rectangle on it).

It can also be done with VBA if you want to learn a little programming. I
could send you an example off-line if you want to go the "harder" way.
