I didn't think this would be too difficult but.....
I need to run some code as a slide is displayed
in Powerpoint - that's it!!!
I can attach the code to the 'next click' from the
previous slide, or the 'previous click' on the next
slide, which gives me a problem if the slides are
not viewed in sequence, anyway it's messy and I can't
believe there isn't an 'on load', or 'on display' event
for each slide, but no one seems to know it. I posted
a thread here a week or so back and got no replies.
Is it too hard or too easy?

I was looking at PP, and I'm not quite sure what you're doing. Are you trying to run a macro? or do you have an executable you want to run? Here's what I found:

You have an object on your slide, like say a word art or something. Right click on it and go to action settings. You'll see mouse click or mouse over tabs and in the settings it will say Hyperlink, nothing, run executable, stuff like that. I think you could use that. Maybe draw a big clear box on the whole slide, then change it's action settings so that a mouse move will execute it, and there you have it. I hope that will work.

Thanks Bob,
But I want the code to run automatically
as soon as the slide is displayed.
I can put a command button on the slide to solve the
problem, but this requires user input which I want
to avoid.
Thanks again

jackbee,

I know this post is very old but did you ever resolve this issue?

I need to do exactly the same thing.
