MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / January 2007Why 'object action' is disabled in mouse-click / mouse-over?
I can't seem to find object action defined in the PowerPoint 2003 Help. I'm trying to see what options I have for ' Action Settings ' for ' Auto Shape '. I'd like to be able to click on a button in my slideshow and have a slice of an image "light up" (highlight). But when I go to Action Settings for my "button", ' Run Macro ' and ' Object Action ' are greyed out. Any ideas why? And advice on how to show a hidden image on mouseover? Thanks in advance! >I can't seem to find object action defined in the PowerPoint 2003 Help.

Do you have a macro? If not then there is no way to use it and it is greyed out. Object actions refer to OLE objects, not PPT drawing objects.

Unless you've already included macros in your PPT file, there are no macros to assign to actions, so PPT doesn't tempt you ... it just grays that option out. Object Actions only apply to OLE Objects (stuff you've brought in via Insert Ojbect or copy/paste from an app that creates OLE objects, like Excel, Word, MSGraph, etc.). > And advice on how to show a hidden image on mouseover? Thanks in advance! Does it need to be on mouseover, or can it happen on clicking something else? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
