MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006ActiveX Text box on mouse over
Hi I'm a newbie when it comes to ActiveX and PowerPoint. I need to create a presentation that when the presenter moves the mouse over a bullet point, a text box appears with more detail. 1. How do I create the trigger that causes the text box to appear when there is a mouse over action over a particular bullet point? 2. There may be a number of bullet points on the slide that would each have their own text box to be displayed. Thanks Heather Try this Place a 99% transparent shape over each hot spot. Right click shape > hyperlink. Choose place in this document > the slide you are on. Click the screentips button and type in the text. Run the show and see if it does what you want  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Hi > I'm a newbie when it comes to ActiveX and PowerPoint.

The original brief that I was given, required a scroll bar in the information screen - that is why I had gone with an ActiveX text box, however this should suffice. Sometimes the solutions are far simpler than you imagine. Thanks Again Heather > Try this > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Thanks > > Heather If you want activx boxes it can be done! Make the original slide then produce several duplicate slides on each dup put the relevant activx box & text for one bullet point. Make a custom show of each activx slide with appropriate name and then use a mouse over hyperlink to custom shows (tick show & return) SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Thanks John - This is working and should provide the information > required.
