Hi there.

There are several questions and statements in my Powerpoint
Presentation (2007).

I'd like to include some "overview-slides", where these questions and
statements are included at a glance.

Problem:

I want the listeners to look at the overview-slides, but I don't want
them to see questions that have not already appeared in my
presentation.

Example.

At Slide 10 we already had 3 questions, so I want the listeners to see
these 3 questions on the "question-overview"-slide. On Slide 11 the
listener can see the fourth question. So the overview-slide has to
include four questions by now.

etc. etc. etc.

Question:

Is there any possibility to code a makro or something like that
integrates particular sentences into "overview-slides" not until they
appeared in my presentation?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

I guess I'm a bit confused as to what you want to do. It seems to me that
if you are going to have three questions by slide 10, then you should
have a slide (perhaps, slide 11) that includes those three questions.
Then, keep having duplicate slides with more questions. That works and
would be easiest if you know in advance which question go on the overview
slide at which point.

Macros would be useful if you don't know in advance. There are a lot of
ways to do this. I could imagine a button that adds text to an overview
slide that corresponds to a question (if you know the questions in
advance but don't know which ones will be asked). It would use code that
looks something like this:

With ActivePresentation.Slides("Overview").Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange
   .Text = .Text & chr$(13) & "What is the cost of production? $4B"
End With

If the questions aren't predetermined, you'll need to ask for the
questions (possibly using an InputBox or a control text box) and the
answers so you can add that to the slide.

I'm presuming that the questions are on your earlier slides and therefore you
know what they are!

How about producing a summary slide with all the questions in seperate text
boxes. Use vba at the start to set .visible to false for all and then have
code on relevant slides to set textboxes individually to .visible=true at
appropriate times. This way everytime you jump to the summary only the "used"
questions will show. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your answers.

@ john: that's exactly what I wanted to know. I will try to code this
now.

I've asked Charlotte to mail you our free  June newsletter which explains how
to run vba as part of an animation sequence so that the code modules will run
at the correct time. If you can't write the code you need drop me an email.

Hi John

I've signed up for your newsletter.

Is there an archive of previous newsletters anywhere that I can access?
