Running macros in PowerPoint

[PaulMilnes]

Can anyone help, I wonder?

I've created a macro in PowerPoint to make an invisible object visible On Mouse Over (in the Action Settings, I've chosen 'Run macro' and selected the correct macro).

When I run it from Tools - Macros,in design view, it works fine. When I try it out in Slide Show, though, nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

You may just have a Catch-22 problem.

If it is invisible to begin with, how can the cursor know when it is over it?

Why not try the problem from another standpoint...

How about covering your desired object with something that hides it. Then you could run a mouse-over macro to hide the covering object thus revealing your desired object. Have the mouse-over events of surrounding object making your covering object visible again.
