MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007Mouse Over Image Enlargment
I am trying to have a mouse over command make my image enlarge and then when I move off the image is goes back to its normal size. The images in my presentation are all different sizes as well. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Unfortunatley, animation triggers cannot be triggered by mouse-over, just mouse click. So, you are stuck with VBA or a workaround. The workaround would be to duplicate your slide and replace the image on the duplicate slide with a larger image. On the original slide, have the mouse over action setting set to hyperlink to the duplicate. On the duplicate slide, put the image on top of everything and put a 99% transparent rectangle just behind it (on top of everything else). Set the mouse over action setting of the 99% transparent rectangle to hyperlink back to the original slide. This is actually easier to do than to explain, but it is rather tedious if you have a lot of slides. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Just to verify that this would work well, I actually did it, and it took me less time to create than it did to write the message with the instructions. --David SignatureDavid M.

Yes and no. If you have a lot of slides, VBA might be easier. VBA can do all the steps I mentioned and do them for every slide as long as you have an easy way to identify the picture you want to do this to. At my skill level, I'm guessing that it would take me about an hour to write the necessary code (other more skilled VBA people might be able to do it in half that time). How are your VBA skills? By the way, the above assumes you want a solution that has VBA create the duplicate slides. This could also be done with VBA in real time, but that would require the users to be using the full version of PowerPoint and have macro security set to medium or low. If you have VBA do the duplication of slides, the user could be using the viewer and not have to worry about macro security. --David SignatureDavid M.
