MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006To show a "hidden" object when you point the mouse on another obje
I have a flow chart where I would like a new text box with extended information to show up when the user just point (don't click) one of the processes/boxes in the flow. Is this possible? Thanks Andreas I believe there are two possibilities for this: (1) Have two identical slides, except the second has the hidden item showing. Set the mouseover action setting on the shape on the first slide to the second slide. (2) VBA can do this easily, but the users have to have the full version of PowerPoint and have macro security set to Medium or Low. Unfortunately, trigger animations only work on mouse clicks, not on mouse overs. --David  SignatureDavid M.

However is there some way I can make it possible to write more/larger messages. There seems to be a limit of characters in the message field?

I misread your original message, thinking that you wanted something more complicated to show up than a simple text message. However, now that you want something longer, I think you are stuck with one of my two earlier suggestions. --David SignatureDavid M.
