i'm writing a VB program that opens and edit powerpoint.
i'd like to be able to press a key (maybe ctrl-r) during a slide show
and it'll run a macro

been searching high and low for a way to do this and beginning to be
convinced that it's not possible.

any ideas?

I think shortcut manager from officeone will do this
http://officeone.mvps.org/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html

As a workaround try placing an action button (it could be transparent if you
want) with the run macro action and from the keyboard in slide show mode
press tab followed by enter

Signature

Did that answer the question / help?

If it all needs to be done w/in PowerPoint, John's suggestion is the one to
follow.

But depending on what's got focus, your VB app could trap keystrokes and run
code internal to it or invoke macros in any open PPT file or add-in.
