Default Drill Down - Then Return when Ready

Hi All,

I'd like to drill down to another more detailed slide then return when
ready.

Any suggestions as how to do this the best way?

Thanks,
Baz

I just did this with PP 2002.

Create a hyperlink on your "start" slide, link it to the more detailed
slide. On your more detailed slide, make another hyperlink to the original
slide. I used blank text boxes, and made the whole text box the link. When
you are in viewer mode the cursor turns into a hand when you go over the
hyperlinked area, so you know where to click. When you go into the hyperlink
dialogue box, you'll find that you can choose to link "to a place in this
document", which will then bring up a list of all the slides you have in the
presentation, then you can just click on the slide you want.

This is the way I did it (I found help had the details on how to make one
hyperlink, slide to slide, but not how to get back). There may be an easier
way.

Hi Fiona,

Many thanks for the response.

I'd like to have a navigation menu for my slides.

Where I can just jump to another detailed presentation from anywhere.
Then be able to return to the original slide as needed.

Anyone know how to do this?
Perhaps with VBA?

I've also found a way to control the size of my jumped to
presentation.
But it just covers the original with no borders or anything.

Am I going about this the wrong way.
I just want to be able to navigate as questions come up in the
presentations.

Hi Barry,

In pp 2002 (my version) when you are in the presentation view (either
through a .ppt show or through a .pps show) you can type in the slide number,
press enter and it will jump straight to it - if you're within the same show.
Then use the same technique to get back to the original slide.

Advice I have seen on this forum is to have a hard copy of the slide show
(file/send to/word/outline view will print all the titles and bullet points
to a word doc leaving the pictures behind) then use that to navigate around.
The heading numbers refer to the slide number.

Hope this helps.

Fiona

Hi Fiona,

Thanks again for another excellent suggestion.

As I'm testing your suggestions I'm thinking "How is the web surfer
going to be able to return after a drill down?"

I feel I'm going to have to use VBA code.

Any VBA codes out there keeping up with this thread?
Is this possible?

I've been playing around with VBA and find the Low Security for Macros
a bit flaky ( could be me).

i.e. trying to execute another (second .pps) as a bit of a pop up.
Its got no window. Just a show with no frame.

And each time I close the second .pps it asks if I want to save the
changes.
I'm assuming its the width and height changes.

Any help from any VBA coder would be appreciated.

Thanks again all,

baz

Sorry - I didn't realise it was for a web presentation. I'm not sure what
is the best option to use for the web - powerpoint or some other software.
Apart from that - hyperlinks with "see more about xxx" as the on screen
dialogue and using the same sort of code to go to the "next" or "previous"
page might be the best option. Then you'd just have a "back" button,
similar to what most web browsers use.

Apart from that - maybe someone else can give you a better option. If you
re-post with the web page question, someone may answer more fully - people
may not read all the posts and so not see that you still need more
information.

Good luck.

Fiona

Hi Fiona,

I didn't know at the time, that I would be evolving into web/vba or
that web/VBA code would be acting different between PowerPoint.exe and
the PowerPoint Browser, either. ;P

Hi David,

With Office 2003 all my Power Point VBA code seems to be executing with
the Power Point browser. Just the same as with PowerPoint.exe. I've
discussed at length with the client regarding the macro security
settings and we've decided to leave it at its lowest level. So we've
made an informed decision and will be ready for whatever happens.

I haven't as yet attemted to publish my testing to a website to see if
it acts differently as you've outlined.

Thanks,
baz

Correction.

VBA is NOT Executing with Power Point Viewer.
Since I had NOT downloaded the Power Point Viewer.
WIndows must have been executing the PPS with PowerPoint.exe.

I downloaded and installed the 2003 PPV.exe from:
http://tinyurl.com/nmze

I had to specifically select PPV from Start | Programs since all .PPS
files were associated with PowerPoint.exe (and not PPV.exe).

So I've confirmed that PPV 2003 will NOT execute VBA.

----------------------

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can control my Power Point
Presentations better.
I'm a VB6 developer.
Would anything be available in vb6 to help me with these issues?

This has all gotten quite confused. Perhaps it'd be a good ideat at this point
to step back and explain exactly what you need to do and the environment you
need to do it in (on the web, locally, in a browser, in the viewer, in PPT
itself and so on)
