MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Pop up window
Besides using animation and hyperlinking to another slide, which is not very elegant, is there a way to insert a pop up box with information (like the comment field in Excel) linked to an object (either by click or by passing the mouse over) The pop up box should have full editing functionality like PPT Thanks Jerry Maybe my (fist) answer here is waht you are looking for http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en &cr=us&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.powerpoint&p=1&tid=3e0fd73e-ca89-43c 6-9ba6-706058ccf2e7  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > Besides using animation and hyperlinking to another slide, which is > not very elegant, is there a way to insert a pop up box with [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks > Jerry If you don't mind a click, then you can use a trigger animation. If you need it to work with mouse over, then you have three choices: 1. Hyperlink to another slide (the option you mentioned) 2. Screen tips (the option mentioned in John's other message) 3. VBA (not too hard to pull off if you know any VBA and the end users will have the full version of PowerPoint) --David SignatureDavid M.

Marcovitz Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Director of Graduate Programs in Educational Technology Loyola College in Maryland Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ So John the second example onthe PPT you sent is animation, how did you "hook" the hyperlink to the invisible object to an animation? This is where I'm stuck When I try to apply this, no matter when I clcik on the slide I get the animation..how do I specify to animate only when clicking to a specific portion of the slide (BTW, I have about 6-7 of these on one slide) Thnaks Jerry >Place a transparent (99%) shape at the hotspot. > >You got mail BTW Check out this: http://pptheaven.mvps.org/tutorials/trigger.html or http://www.indezine.com/products/powerpoint/cool/trigger01.html or http://www.onppt.com/ppt/article1056.html --David SignatureDavid M.
