Keyboard activation in Presentation mode
in [Powerpoint]

Prev: How do I change the default that opens new file when PPT is opened
Next: slide transitions w/ custom animation
From: James on 7 May 2008 21:41 Is it possible without vba to have an action button behave as a keyboard keystroke? For example, I create an "A" key; in presentation mode someone clicks the key and it prints out an "A". Will I need to use activex buttons instead? I thought about pure trigger animation and building the characters myself through custom animation but that seemed too tedious... I also want to build a working ppt or pptx calculator in the same fashion but have come across the same problem... Any suggestions?

Without VBA it does not seem possible. For a VBA solution, look at the PowerPoint Calculator at http://officeone.mvps.org/vba/ppt_calculator.html It uses Shortcut Manager for PowerPoint from http://officeone.mvps.org/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html to enable interactions using the keyboard during the slide show. - Chirag PowerShow - View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html "James" <James(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3B666E40-9714-4160-9C16-9A01E940A8EA(a)microsoft.com... > Is it possible without vba to have an action button behave as a keyboard > keystroke?
