ok I thought I knew how to do this....apparently not.

I'm using PowerPoint 2003 and I want to change the color of an object when I
mouse-over it in slideshow mode. similar to the html function.
unfortunately the only opton is in action settings where it "highlights" it
to some default color is there mouse over function where I can change the
color of a box from one color to another and it return to the original color
when I move the mouse away? I thought you could do that in PowerPoint.

any help much appreciated

thanks all

Justin
 
I didn't find anything simple, but you can do it this way:

Copy your original slide (let's call it "slide 1").
Change the colour of the shape on this slide ("slide 2").
On slide 2, make a button with a 99% transparency and send it to back. Give
this button a mouse over action of going to slide 1.
On slide 1, give your shape a mouse over action of going to slide 2.
And finally, you'll want to make sure the slide 2 is not included on the
show (I am not sure how to tell you how to do this because my version is in
French and I don't know the exact translation but it should be something like
this : right click on slide 2 and click on "don't show this slide").
