Trigger Keystroke

[magicmen]

Hi PPT Users,

I was wondering if there was a way to set an action button to a keystroke
(including using VBA)? That is, if I clicked an action button that it would
have the same function as pressing the number 1 on the keyboard. Any ideas
or suggestions?

Thanks!

Just to check

Do you want:
1. Pressing "1" to trigger the action
2. Clicking the action button to type a "1"

The first is difficult even with vba unless you have a good deal of
knowledge. You might wan't to look at Chiraq's add in here

Hi John,

I was looking for 2. (Clicking the action button to type a "1").

I read somewhere that you can no longer record keystrokes in 2007 (what I'm
using) and I couldn't find any VBA code that related to keystrokes. Any help
would be appreciated!
