Hi,
I have a PowerPoint template that is to be used throughout our office to
generate new presentations. With this template I would like certain things to
happen when certain Events are triggered (i.e. hide a text box on slide 1
when a Slide Show Begins or when the Presentation is printed and then unhide
the text box when the Slide Show has ended.
I can write the code to do these tasks, but I'm having difficulty automating
tihs through Events. In Word & Excel it is so straight forward. I don't
understand why it is so confusing in PP.
I have read that in order to work with Events in PP I must store the code in
an Add-in.
So I save my .pot as a .ppa file... but I am not sure where to put
additional code in order to get this .ppa file to load automatically.
I've tried using this stmt to automatically load the add-in, but it doesn't
do anything.
Where should I be storing this?
addins.add ("C:\...\MyAddin.ppa").loaded = msoTrue but it doesn't do anything.
I've tried using Auto_Open procedures, but it doesn't do anything.
Also, it seems that most automation that I read about is just general to the
application. I want to automate these tasks only for new or existing files
based on a specific template.
I have googled this backwards and forwards, and have only gotten totally
confused. I even purchased sample code, but it didn't tell me much of
anything.
Any help would be so appreciated!
Thank you!!
