Hi Sanj, you can make pictures appear on mouseclick in every version of PowerPoint, just animate them. If you want them to appear if you click on a certain object or area in your slide in any sequential order you choose, this is possible with PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. You have the so called trigger animations in these newer versions. See Echo's website for a tutorial: http://www.echosvoice.com/triggers.htm In PowerPoint 97 or 2000 you have to fake this effect using several slides. Kind regards, Ute
From: sanj on 13 Feb 2005 11:02 Thanks Ute, I need to ensure that this caters for all PPT versions from 2000, could I write a macro that does this - my question is how do define what each image/object is called ?

From: David M. Marcovitz on 13 Feb 2005 11:15 What Ute said and ... If you are using earlier version of PowerPoint or really need the mouseover effect, you'll have to do something else. There are a few possibilities. From what you described, you seem to want all other pictures to appear at once. If this is the case, you could set the Action Settings of the master picture, to hyperlink to another slide on mouse over. Right-click on the master picture and choose Action Settings. Click on the Mouse Over tab, and choose hyperlink. On the other slide, you can have the master picture if you want and the other pictures. It will look just like an animation. If you want them to fly in (or animate in some way other than just appear), just set the other pictures to animate automatically. If you want to do something more complicated, you might have to resort to VBA. --David David Marcovitz Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/ "Ute Simon" wrote: > > Is it possible to have several images on screen all hidden at first except > > the (master), then when the mouse goes over (or clicks on )the master the > > others to be displayed - or something similar? > > Hi Sanj, > > you can make pictures appear on mouseclick in every version of PowerPoint, > just animate them. > > If you want them to appear if you click on a certain object or area in your > slide in any sequential order you choose, this is possible with PowerPoint > 2002 or 2003.

Try to explain in more detail what you want to do. If it is simply making other pictures appear with one mouse over or mouse click, then see my other post about linking to another slide. If it is more complicated, then explain it in more detail. A macro is certainly possible, but macros only work with the full version of PowerPoint (versions 97 and above), not the PowerPoint Viewer. You might check out examples on my Web site that use macros to hide and show objects on the screen: http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/ Click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 6." Example 6.4 is a fairly simple example that does this. --David David Marcovitz Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.loyola.edu/education/PowerfulPowerPoint/ "sanj" wrote: > Thanks Ute, > > I need to ensure that this caters for all PPT versions from 2000, could I > write a macro that does this - my question is how do define what each > image/object is called ? > > Regards, > > Sanjay > > > > "Ute Simon" <us(a)ppt-user.ed> wrote in message > news:eYnjCHeEFHA.2700(a)TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > > > Is it possible to have several images on screen all hidden at first > except > > > the (master), then when the mouse goes over (or clicks on )the master > the > > > others to be displayed - or something similar? > > > > Hi Sanj, > > > > you can make pictures appear on mouseclick in every version of PowerPoint, > > just animate them. > > > > If you want them to appear if you click on a certain object or area in > your > > slide in any sequential order you choose, this is possible with PowerPoint > > 2002 or 2003.
