VBA Auto-run

[Paul Simpson]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can get some VBA to run when a presentation is
shown or when a slide appears without the user doing anything?

There doesn't seem to be an onOpen or onLoad method for either a slide or a
presentation like there is in other Office products.

Many thanks

Paul,

You have to understand the difference between opening a presentation and
viewing it. In the view mode, you will have to build your own event handler
to automate code.

Thanks for the response.

I appreciate there is a difference and, in fact, I'd like to be able to
automate both modes (edit and view) in the future.

At the moment, though, it's view mode I'm interested in.

Many thanks - this looks like what I'm looking for, although it's a shame you
have to do this stuff via an add-in. Oh well, maybe in PPT 3001......

Nah. It'll just be harder than ever to get even an add-in to run any code.
