MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Using macros in presentation
I am trying to make a table that has one column and five rows. In each of the rows I want to have a number of the row centered. I have that done. I need to be able to click on each number in the row and have a name or number replace it. I would like to use macros for this however, I have followed the instructions that the program gives me and when I play the slides it does not work. I also tried to use other computers and can not be successful on those as well. How can i fix this problem?

We'd need more information. What are the instructions you followed? What program gives you the instructions? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I have followed the instructions given when I clicked the help at the top of the page. then i clicked Microsoft PowerPoint Help and the help assistant came up.

Next, what macro code did you type in? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I'm not understanding what a macro code is? The only thing i need is for the number 1 to be replaced with my name. Is a macro the best way to do this or is there another way that would be better?

While a macro can do this, it seems like find and replace would be much simpler. --David SignatureDavid M.

For a one-shot, yes, but I think Lisa wants this to happen when she clicks the cel in the table. Can some of you animation wizards cobble up a way to do this w/o VBA? If the table were ungrouped, it'd look like a table but you could treat each cell individually as a shape. You could dupe each cell, put the number in the topmost of each pair of cells and fill it, put the name in the lower of the two. Give the topmost a Disappear, On Click animation setting and you're rolling down NoVBA Road. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
