While the above is the best way to go PowerPoint can react to the new slide in a slide show using
[vba]Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
'Do something
End Sub[/vba]It is a little flaky though and you may need to call it manually once and then it should fire with every new slide.

Thank you both very much for the information!!!
Two minor questions:
When one declares the class/ procedure - does this have to happen on each computer on which the specific power point presentation is run, or is the 'initialization' process coded into the PPT/ PPS itself?
Also, the function 'OnSlideShowPageChange()': Where can I place this function (I apologize if these are ignorant questions, but I have tried several functions which did not react)? Is it feasible to open Microsoft Script editor and inserting the function in the <Head> portion?
Again, thank you - this is helping immensely!
Have a look in the kbase on this site. Search for PowerPoint applications and there are examples of both these techniques. If you use the OnSlideShowPageChange idea I would have an action button on slide one that the user presses to start the show. Give it an action of Run Macro. Once the macro has run once it will fire with every new page.
