TAJ - Thanks, sounds wonderful. I am using ppt 2003, and it refuses to "addin" your extracted ppa file. Is there a problem with ppt 2003? Each time I click 'add new', and locate the file, press 'ok' it returns to an empty dialog box, with another opportunity to "add new", any ideas?

Check your security settings. Chances are they are set to "High" which means
that most macros and add-ins won't load. Try setting it to low or medium and
see if the add-in works then.

Also, the add-in won't work with the Viewer. It doesn't support VBA.

It's not *my* add-in.

If you are resorting to VBA, you can also check out my examples 8.16 and
8.17 (click on "Examples by Chapter" and "Chapter 8") at:

I like to think of it as "ascending to VBA" after having resorted to
PowerPoint. ;-)
