Oops! The other operative is SendKey.

OK, strongm, I stand corrected. Thanks for the research. Anyway, Elise, in error I failed to include the trailing ") to close the expression. You recognized this. The deal is that the Print dialog box has to be open for this to work. If you right-click on SendKeysTo in WinBatch Studio and do a...

Hi Skip, Thanks for your effort and for staying with me on this. I'm still suffering from muddy thinking, though. (It's been a couple of years since I've messed with any VB or VBA.) First, PPT apparently insists that macros driven by buttons be named Macron(). Second, doesn't the "sh" value...

Sorry Skip, but I'm not tracking. Now when I click the FAQ1 button on slide 1, nothing happens. Sub Macro3() SlideShowWindows(Index:=1).View.GotoSlide Index:=4 For Each sh In ActiveWindow.Shapes sh.Color.SchemeColor = ppBackground Next With ActiveWindow.Shapes(4)...

Great. Prove me wrong. I've been using WinBatch since '87 when Windows was at version 1.03. Interestingly, the Microsoft scripting language only showed up *many* years later. I think you'll discover, upon thorough investigation, that M$ and Wilson Windowware did, in fact, cut a deal for a...

That's not the issue if the text on the button is not grouped with the button itself. I have instructed PPT to only run the macro when the button itself is clicked. So the following code works, as does the [Back] button which is hyperlinked to "Last Slide Viewed". The problem now is how to only...

Sure you can use SendKeys. I created a custom WinBatch app for a client doing just this. (WinBatch can be found at www.winbatch.com and is, in fact, the original source of the greatly paired-down Microsoft scripting language. I think you'll find it a *whole* lot easier to use than VBA.) Note...

No, these are buttons I drew in PPT using AutoShapes > ActionButtons. I'm then doing an ActionSettings > RunMacron from the context-sensitive menu when I right-click the button in edit mode. The FAQ slide has a [BACK] button that, when clicked, is supposed to hide the FAQn text and return the...

As follows (more after code sample): Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro recorded 4/13/2004 by CHMOR ' With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick) .Run = "Macro1" .Action = ppActionRunMacro ' .SoundEffect.Type = ppSoundNone ' .AnimateAction =...

That's just it, Skip. I've tried repeatedly to record variants of the macro, but I'm not making progress. I'll give it another try, though.

I have three FAQ buttons on a PPT slide 1, each adjacent to 1 of 3 separate paragraphs. Clicking the [FAQ1] button should take the user to PPT slide 20, where the FAQ1 text is displayed (Wipe Left). FAQ2 text and FAQ3 text, also on slide 20, should be hidden at this point. Clicking the [FAQ2]...
