I've looked through the forum and checked online, and I can't seem to find the answer...

Lets say the user clicks on slide #3 and it advances to slide #4. How do I get slide #4 to either
A) advance to a specific slide (that is not #5)
or
B) Run a specific script

WITHOUT any mouse click/mouse over or other trigger (other than the user clicking from slide #3 to #4.)

Is there a way that once slide #4 begins, that either of those can happen?

Thanks

Rob

Yes, check this thread out which is only a day old:

Whichever event you choose, you just need to check the slide number. If it is slide #4 then do your stuff. If not, just don't do anything.

I saw that thread after I posted my question. I'm new enough to the coding, that it didn't make a lot of sense after I read it. Can you clarify it at all?


Thanks

If you are new to code then to be honest you are jumping in the deep end!

Have a look at some of the more simple things here http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/powerpoint_hints_and_tips_tutorials.html#vba for a day or so and then get back with exactly what you need to happen.
