Click to Enlarge within PowerPoint

[RandDUser]

I am trying to hyperlink an object (or assign a macro to it) so that when the end user clicks on the object in Slide Show view, the object will enlarge. Are there any sites, past forums, or simple solutions to achieve that?

TIA.

Make sure the object (jpeg, etc.) exists in a file on the same drive as the Powerpoint file, and when opened separately is the size you want to display.

Then insert a hyperlink to that file in a text box below the small representation of the object. When clicked, the original file will open (possibly in imaging or IE) and be the correct size.

RandDUser,

The trick would be to either jump to another slide (with the larger object already designed), you can do this by assigning "action settings" to any object in powerpoint,

or if you are using a newer version of powerpoint (2002 or higher), make use of the "triggers" to "do something when you click something"
