Hi All,

I have prepared a rather large master presentation that I will open with a
menu screen that presents users with a command button.

I would like to have the caption on the command button change each time it
is pressed, ie. from 'Sales' to 'Marketing' to 'Engineering', the macro
reading the current state of the button (caption) and hiding slides that are
not relevant to the department the user has selected.

I have done this before using Visual Basic in Excel though I'm not sure of
the syntax for Powerpoint.

My macro will run something like:

Make all sheets visible,
If button.caption = 'Sales',
hide slides 2,3,4 and 9 then
button.caption = "Marketing'

Elseif button.caption = 'Marketing',
make all sheets visible, hide slides 2,7,11 then
button.caption = 'Engineering'.......

Can you please assist with correct object identifiers for command buttons in
PowerPoint..

Thanks,

Neil
