MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Powerpoint and Macro's (I think!)
I wonder if someone out there can help me with a project I am working on in PP? I am trying to create a game Blockbusters - where you select an area of a grid (made up of autoshapes) then are asked a question - the grid is all hyperlinked to new slides which give the question, followed by the answer, then an action button returns you to the grid (Sense so far?) What I would like to do is colour the grid in team colours to show who answered the question and I thought all I had to do was record a macro to fill with Red then assign it to an action button, so that if the team gets the question correct I will click the appropriate action button and the correct colour will fill! But it's not working at all! the macro assigns itself to a particular autoshape rather than the one I want to fill. If this makes any sense to you at all and you can help me I would be very very grateful. Wendy :-) Wendy, if you click to edit the macro what does it look like? My guess is it starts something like "activewindow.selection.shaperange" If so it will never work in slide show mode as there can be no "selection" You would need to write some vba which points to specific shapes eg ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3) _ .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbRed If this makes no sense to you maybe you could use trigger emphasis animations (if you have XP / 2003)  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I wonder if someone out there can help me with a project I am working on in PP? > I am trying to create a game Blockbusters - where you select an area of a [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Wendy :-) Million thanks for taking the time to reply - still struggling with this one, cant get the emphasis animation to work! will try the macro idea again - looks like I may be writing 20 macro's. Thanks again Wendy > Wendy, if you click to edit the macro what does it look like? > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > Wendy :-)
