Add Shape overlay with action and send to back

[Paul_Hossler]

I'm trying to write a PP 2010 macro to do some formatting in slide edit mode

1. add a rectangle shape covering the entire slide named "Invisible_Back"

2. no fill and no border

3. send to back (I'll need a flavor to send to front but I should be able to do that myself)

4. add action to hyperlink to a particular slide


Hand crafted example, done the hard way

Slide one has Invisible_Back so that if one of the Shapes is not clicked, it stays, instead of advancing to next slide

Slide one has shapes with action to a shape-specific slide

Each shape specific slide has a Invisible_Front overlay to return to the main slide (slide one) no matter where you click


I'll probable expand the macro to apply Invisible_Front to all selected slides instead on one at a time


I haven't figured out how I want to handle assigning actions to the shapes on Slide one yet
