I need a pop up box in my presentation!

I have created 50+ presentations with approximately 200 slides in each
that now need to have a pop up box appear that lists a small amount of
information about the content of the screen. Each slide will need to
be done individually because the information changes from slide to
slide. Something like a screen tip would work great. I just can't get
it to work. Ideally the process would be for the user to run the
presentation; teach the information on the slide; click a graphic; and
up pops the information (a rather small amount a text!). I would
really appreciate a response to this plea for help!!!

Thanks, Mary
 
Hi Mary,

If you ...
....Cut & paste the macro below into your presentation and
....get a macro trigger
http://officerone.tripod.com/ppsctmgr/ppsctmgr.html

.... then you will be able to show the slide's notes in a message box by just
pressing a key.

================
Sub PopUpNotes()
MsgBox ActivePresentation _
.Slides(SlideShowWindows(1) _
.View.CurrentShowPosition) _
.NotesPage.Shapes.Placeholders(2) _
.TextFrame.TextRange, , "Slide #" & _
Str(SlideShowWindows(1).View. _
CurrentShowPosition)
End Sub
=================

Alternately, you could assign an action setting to each picture that would
activate the macro, or even use an event trapper that would activate it when
slides advance.

Let us know if you need help setting this up.
