How to activate a textbox in PowerPoint 2007

I have a presentation in PowerPoint 2007 that consists of 10 slides. Each slide automatically advances to the next after 5 seconds. Each slide also contains a textbox.

My goal is, upon activation of each slide, to automatically place the cursor in the textbox, so that all I have to do is type something in, without first clicking on the textbox to activate it, and then simply wait for the slide to advance to the next one.

Any help would be appreciated.

 
What have you tried so far and where in your code are you stuck ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

I have tried using .SetFocus, but apparently the option is no longer available in the 2007 version of the Office.
 
Well, it seems I haven't had much luck figuring out how to give focus to a textbox control upon slide activation, so I'll be using a radio button control instead.
