I have tried to search for a glossery of terms you all use in this forum. No
luck. Example Automation: a person just asked about tracking automation and
Shuam Pillai said what he needed is "event handler". Is there a data base
out there someware with this type of info?
Thank you

None that I know of, but if something's not clear, just reply to the post and
ask. We're a friendly bunch. Oh sure, Echo sometimes invites people to bite
*her* but she never bares her teeth to anyone else. ;-)

Oh, and to save you the time:

An event handler:

Programming code in a powerpoint presentation or add-in can waits for certain
"events" like "The user added a new slide" or "The user just moved to a
different slide" and do something in response. Code that waits for these
"events" and handles them is ...

yep ... you're way ahead of me. An event handler.
 
Thanks again Steve. Now I get it! An event handler is like a Husband at the
end of a Honey Do list! :)
 
And "automation" is a code word for...um...er...code. Whenever anyone
uses the term automation, they are using code, rather than (or in
addition to) the standard PowerPoint interface.

Steve, as the keeper of the FAQ, this glossary idea should go on your
FAQdo list.
