Thanks, Steve.

I'd already thought of that, but I'm using that event for other purposes
(sensing when a new slide is being viewed in Normal mode) and I didn't want
to fool around with that code. I guess I may have to.

However, that leaves unanswered the more basic question: why don't
WindowBeforeDoubleClick and WindowBeforeRightClock fire? I've read the
documentation on events in 2007, and those events are there, and there's no
verbiage saying anything about them behaving differently. Got any insight
on that issue?

Do you mean the WindowSelectionChange event? If so, I'm now using that, and
it's identical code to what I had for the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event
handler. I don't think I knew about that event, so many thanks. (I lied in
my previous response - I was thinking about slide change events.)

One more thing: Was WindowSelectionChange an event that could be handled in
2003? I'm worried now about backward compatibility, since most of my users
are on 2003.

Thanks!

Double-click on shapes doesn't really do anything. Right-click menus cannot
be customized anyways, so I think that may have been left out too.

For others who may be working in this area, it does appear the
WindowSelectionChange does work in PPT 2003.

Yes ... sorry for the incorrect terminology. Airhead --> Aircode

Yep, it works back to 2000, in fact.
