Create macro with user input required
I create PowerPoint presentations that simulate web site demonstrations.
There are dozens of hyperlinks in the presentations. I am trying to find instructions on creating a macro that will automate the process up to the point of inputting the destination address for the hyperlink. Where can I find such a macro or at least a macro that incorporates user input? I have scoured the web and other reference materials and cannot find the answer to this question. Help!

Create macro with user input required
I don't know if this is what you want, but I have lots of macros that
incorporate rudimentary user input at my site: http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ --David -- David M.

Create macro with user input required
Steve - I want to select an existing hyperlink or action setting, select
"Slide", select the correct slide to link, the click "OK". The user input would be the selection of the slide. I would like a similar macro to change an existing link to a slide in a different PowerPoint deck. Does this make sense?

David - I will check this out. I cruised by your site a couple days ago, but
did not look at it in depth. Thanks for the suggestion! -- Dan Slabaugh "David M.

Create macro with user input required
More questions:
Steve - I want to select an existing hyperlink or action setting, In normal edit mode or in slide show? select "Slide", select the correct slide to link, the click "OK". The user input would be the selection of the slide. More or less like what you already get when you add a new action setting and choose Hyperlink to: ? Which'd mean that you want to do this in slide show view? I would like a similar macro to change an existing link to a slide in a different PowerPoint deck. Does this make sense? How would the user specify the new PPT file and slide? Thank you in advance for your help! ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================

Create macro with user input required
Steve - I want this in edit mode, not the slide show. I want the macro to
take me to the dialog box that selects the slide, "Hyperlink to Slide". This is where the macro would end. Currently, it takes 3 clicks to get to this dialog box once the action setting box is highlighted. My presentations contain over 100 hyperlinks, so saving a couple clicks is a pretty big deal. The other macro I am looking for would also be in the edit mode and would bring up the dialog box "Hyperlink to Other PowerPoint Presentation". That would be the end of the macro. -- Dan -- Dan Slabaugh "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: More questions: Steve - I want to select an existing hyperlink or action setting, In normal edit mode or in slide show? select "Slide", select the correct slide to link, the click "OK".

Got it. Sorry it took so long. Show me the ID of PowerPoint's command bar controls (and launch them) http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00946.htm This brings up the Action setting dialog ... I'm not sure it's possible to go any further than that. Haven't tried this in 2007, where it may no longer work, but the example given in the last bit of code is worth trying since it refers to the specific control you're after. The other macro I am looking for would also be in the edit mode and would bring up the dialog box "Hyperlink to Other PowerPoint Presentation". That would be the end of the macro. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
