"hovering" over a shape to change a color
Hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am currently
changing a presentation of a powerpoint for the company that I work for. . . On the slide that I am working on, I have a large circle with pieces of a pie, similar to that of a pizza. Each slice of the pizza is a certain topic to click on to link to more pages. I was asked to find out how to change the color of each slice as i hover over that particular slice with my curser. does anyone have any suggestions or could anyone help me? thanks so much to anyone that responds.. -- "The Intern" |

David, thanks so much for the response, I really appreciate it. I am not all
that familiar with technical terms and abbreviations with an application such as this. What is VBA?

I don't think this is possible without VBA. The closest you can come is to use trigger animations, but that would require a mouse click. If there aren't too many pie slices, another possible solution is to use multiple slides. Here's how that would work: (1) Create a slide with all your pie slices as separate shapes. (2) Create an additional slide for each pie slice. (3) Assign an Action Setting to each shape. This action setting is to be activate on Mouse Over (not the default on mouse click). The action setting is to hyperlink to the appropriate slide. (4) Now, select all your pie slices and copy and paste them to the other slides. (5) Finally, on each slide, recolor the appropriate pie slice. Now that I wrote this up, it doesn't seem that hard. VBA could do it all in one slide, but I don't think it would be much easier. --David -- David M.

Adam VBA is Visual Basic for Applications. It is the macro programming language built into PowerPoint. If you don't know what it is, you probably want to avoid it.

"hovering" over a shape to change a color
Hi,
This can be done with mouse over action settings that hyperlink to an identical slide with the changed pie color. But it is a bit complex to do. -- Regards, Glen Millar Microsoft PPT MVP Tutorials and PowerPoint animations at the original www.pptworkbench.com glen at pptworkbench dot com See you at PowerPoint Live? www.pptlive.com ------------------------------------------ "Adam" wrote in message ...
