Action buttons did not function properly with power point 2007
in [Powerpoint]
|
From: shihhua123 on 10 Jan 2008 22:12 In my application, some action buttons (called as "triggers" for now) shouldn't be seen/turned on until the slide is visited again. Therefore, I purposely put "next" button on the slide to run a macro that will make "triggers" visible. In power point 2003, these "triggers" become visible and they run pre-assigned macro when the slide is re-visited. In power point 2007, these "triggers" also become visible; however, they don't run macro when the page is re-visited for the 1st time. They will only run after "next" is executed at least twice. That means, they won't function until the page is at least visited three times!!! Is there a way to fix this problem? I appreciate any answer. Thank you very much, Shih-Hua P.S. BTW, I found "triggers" might not run pre-assgiend macros and it is necessary to include assigning actions in the "next" macro, too.

Give the action button an entrance animation "Appear" and set it to be triggered by a click on the "Next" button.

From: shihhua123 on 11 Jan 2008 10:35 Hi, John, Your suggestion does bring the action button out by clicking "next" on the same page. However, in my application, some action buttons are not allowed to be shown until clicking a button on another page. Do you have any suggestion for that? Thank you for your help.

From: shihhua123 on 11 Jan 2008 13:22 Thanks, John, I was using vba. Problem is, it only work properly in Power point 2003, not in Power point 2007. If you have both 2003 and 2007, you can easily see the problem by putting another two buttons on the same page besides the "trigger" button. One calls "show" which will do .visible=msoTrue to show "trigger". Another calls "hide" which will do .visible=msoFalse to hide "trigger." "Trigger" is assigned in ppt to run macro when mouse click as well as to make a sound when mouse over. In both power point 2003 and 2007, "trigger" will disappear immediately by clicking "hide". To see "trigger" again, however, are different in these two ppt versions. In ppt 2003, "trigger" will show immediately by clicking "show" and it can execute mouse click and mouse over macro properly. In ppt 2007, "trigger" will not show by clicking "show" only once. I will have to either leave the page and then come back, or click "show" for the second time. More over, it will not run macro by mouse click and will not play sound when mouse over. To be able to make "trigger" to run macros again in ppt 2007, "show" must also do .ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).run="AJob" and ..ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Action=ppActionRunMacro. Also, "show" must be clicked twice before "trigger" become functionable (leave the page and then come back will not play the trick anymore). However, it does play sound when mouse over at the same time when mouse click is enabled again (means after clicking "show" twice.) Any more clue?
