I wish to include, in a presentation, a document that is twice the sceen
width.
I wish first to display statically the left-hand half then, after a
mouse-click, pan across to a static display of the right-hand half. Any
suggestions as to how I might achive this with PPT97 or 2000?

Will any suggetion also work with top and bottom halves rather than left and
right?

TIA
Chris

Chris,
In 97 or 2000 you are going to need to fake it with multiple slides. You
won't get the sliding movement, you will just get the swap between the
sides.

On the other hand, this is fairly easy to do in 2002 or later. Any chance
you can upgrade to one of the newer versions?

Kathy,
Thanks - it is as I feared. I have been faking it for a while and just
wanted to improve it.
At home I could easily upgrade but at work we all have 2000 - and I don't
know when they will upgrade. Even if I got and used 2002 at home, I would
still need to run it under 2000 - they are a bit ify about installing even
the ppt2003 viewer.

cheers
Chris

someone suggested vba in your other post

I think this would do it:

Sub mover(oshp As Shape)
posL = oshp.Left
posW = -(oshp.Width / 2)
If oshp.Left > -50 Then
For x = posL To posW Step -5
oshp.Left = x
DoEvents
Next x
End If
End Sub
--
----- It will physically move the shape so you may need to reset it if the
pres is saved. The -50 allows for a little error in positioning (should in
theory be 0)
Did that answer the question / help?

John,
Than - my first excusion into vba with ppt, but here goes!
That certainly moves the image across the screen in the desired way, but the
display effect is quite disturbing.
In Slide View mode, the whole slide disappears to reappear again a fraction
of a second later - the rest of the slide is full intensity but the moving
image is just there momentarily. Everything disppears again and the process
repeats until the moving image reaches its final postition.
