insert live data
Is there any way to insert live data during a presentation? For example,
while in Slide Show mode, can I enter sales numbers and then have them calculate? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer... |

You can with VBA code. I have a simple calculation slide sample I can send
you if you wish. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Karla V" wrote in message ...

Bill,
I am not very familiar with code, but if you could send the slide that would be a great start. Thanks - "Bill Foley" wrote: You can with VBA code.

Karla,
Looking for an Excel like interface? If you have PPT 2002/2003 then insert a Microsoft Office Spreadsheet component on the slide. During slide show you will be able to input and perform calculations live. -- Regards, Shyam Pillai Handout Wizard: http://skp.mvps.org/how "Karla V" wrote in message ...

Bill,
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. One question...when I opened your PPT file, the command buttons didn't work. So, I created a new file, copied the code to the new buttons and everything worked great. I've now e-mailed my PPT file internally to another department and the buttons do not work again. Any idea what is happening? It seems like the code isn't following the presentation. Thanks again... "Bill Foley" wrote: Sorry, I should have mentioned that I needed an address to send the file to.

You MUST set your security down from HIGH or VERY HIGH to MEDIUM. If you
merely copy slides or objects from one file to another, the Module of code does not go with it. You could click ALT+F11 to enter the VBE window, click on and drag the Module from the one project to another. However, I imagine if you had set your security (or others set theirs also) to MEDIUM, all would be fine. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Karla V" wrote in message ...

Karla,
You can also do this without VBA, View Controls Toolbox toolbar. Use the Microsoft Office Spreadsheet ActiveX control. You can make it do live calculations in slide show mode. The formulas you write in slide show mode are saved and activate the next time you are in slide show view Brian Reilly PowerPoint MVP On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 10:55:08 -0800, "Karla V" wrote: Bill, I am not very familiar with code, but if you could send the slide that would be a great start.

Thanks, Brian. Another great solution. I like the professional look of the
text boxes/command buttons, but the Excel worksheet is definitely a quick and simple solution I know I'll be able to use as well. Is there anything out there that details what all of the Active X controls do? I work in Access a lot, but don't use these particular tools very often.
