Programming events (animation) during power point show

I would like to program on a slide few text boxes (or other means) to display
their contents only when I click on it.  The order of clicking could be
random and so I cannot use the custom animation feature.

I tried using VBA, assigning a macro to the click.  But apparently it does
not work during the power point show (works only in edit mode).

Is there a way to achieve this?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi

No need for VBA :-) What you need is triggers - see here:

Wow, excellent stuff.  Thanks.

I also got to learn what are triggers, something that I saw existed but
never took the time to explore.
