I am playing around with trying to capture PowerPoint events and
examine presentations (using the example provided in Knowledgebase
article 254009 as a basis).

I have found that when you transition either forwards or backwards between
slides during a presentation you get a SlideShowNextSlide event being
triggered, but when you transition on a single slide between shapes, for
example when you show bullet points one at a time, you only get
SlideShowNextBuild events when going forwards and not backwards.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to catch these backwards transitions?

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't provide the functionality that you are looking for.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
