Re: Using controls with slides NOT in SlideShow mode

Thanks for the help guys. Steve - that's exactly what I was after, and
works perfectly.

I'm trying to trigger some VBA code when a user clicks on a shape with

It can be done, but only with an addin installed, one that includes an
event
handler. Visit http://www.pptfaq.com and search on "events" for more on
this.

The addin would trap the event triggered when something's selected, work
out
whether the thing selected is one you're looking for, run the needed code
if
so.

I
realise it would be simple if the presentation was in SlideShow mode,
however this won't work for what I"m trying to achieve.

The ideal would be a control on a layout region similar to the insert
table/chart/diagram etc icons that appear in the blank content layouts,
I
can't see a way to achieve this though.

Any help would be very gratefully received!
