Sorry for the delay, silly boss expected me to work. Can you believe it?
Try this link:
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutoria...m#16. Display explanatory text on mouse-over
(watch for text wrap)
You can also use action settings for mouse over events. Use the following
technique:
On slide 1 ...
(This slide has the object you want text to appear over)
- Copy slide 1 and paste as slide 2
- Re-select slide 1
- Select the object you want to mouse over
- Right click and use the 'action settings'
- Mouse Over (tab) | Hyperlink to ... | Slide ...
- Select slide 2 from dialog box
On slide 2 ...
- Add a text box over the object with the text you want to display
- Format text box and text to make it pretty
- Add a rectangle shape to the slide
- Expand the shape to cover the entire slide
- Set the fill to 'No fill'
- Right click and use the 'action settings'
- Mouse Over (tab) | Hyperlink to ... | Slide ...
- Select slide 1 from dialog box
- Select the original object and right click
- Select order and bring to front
- Select your text box and repeat bring to front
- Hide slide #2
Other interesting effects ...
- make whole slide covering box on slide 2 -- 50% transparent and black
fill
- use with previous animations to entrance text box on slide 2
- play with transitions to smooth everything out
This sounds like a lot of steps but isn't that difficult. It is useful if
there is only one item you would like the text over to
highlight/explain/etc.
Hope this helps,
