PowerPoint Delema

[nick42]

I need a little guidance on a powerpoint I am making. I can't seam to find any good info googling so I thought I would try asking here.

I'm making a power-point, and I want to enter information into a text box during the presentation. I can do this easily enough, with the active x text box controller.

The problem is I want to then show this text on all the rest of the slides. When I go to the next slide I can't figure out how to get the data from that text box on the previous slide.

Ideas, Suggestions?

Insert the activex textbox on the master slide.

I thought of that, but I don't want it on the slides that are before when I enter the text.

Let me redefine the problem a bit... I want a slide that has a text box that I can enter info on. The next slide needs a new text box to enter info on, and show the old text box. The next slide needs to show the previous 2 text boxes and include a 3rd one, so on for 58 slides. No text boxes before the 58 or after.

If you could slightly simplify the problem:
- replace textboxes by one listbox,
- use commandbutton and textbox to update the list,
- no return to previous slides
then you could still use master slide (listbox, textbox and commandbutton) with the code in SlideMaster module:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Me
    .ListBox1.AddItem .TextBox1.Text
    .TextBox1.Text = ""
End With
End Sub

If you need separate controls, I'm afraid that you will need much more coding. Can you use other application?

Hmmm, the idea is that the background of the slide is the same, and the new text boxes cover up info (and include newly entered info), as each new slide is opened. So its meant to be a progression. I was hopping there was a way to set a public variable or something, so when the text is entered a label or text box on the next slide can show what was previously entered.
