Default Change object properties by clicking

Hello,



I use Powerpoint 2003 and I am french.
I am setting up a famous TV game called in France "Don't forget the Lyrics", I am sure you have the same in the US or else.

In order to show availability to the players, or not, of a JOKER, I would like to change properties (color) of an objet when I click on it with the mouse in Diaporama mode. This objet will place in the "mask" or "frame" (i don't know the exact term in english). There are 3 jokers:
- 2 words
- 3 phrases
- sing again with a friend

How do you think I could do this?

I know in 2003 you can tell the animation for a shape to start on mouse click, but I'm not sure if 2003 has the option to change the color of a shape. I know it does in later versions. Two best options in my opinion:
1. Pick another emphasis animation to start on click of the shapes.
2. Or the more difficult option which is what I think you were referring to. Hyperlink the shape to go to a slide where the shape is a different color when clicked on. If you want it to stay that color then that would work. If you want it to go back to the other color without clicking it again you would have to make a mask on that secondary color slide behind the shape so that when you move the mouse off of the shape that changed color it would hyperlink back to the original slide. A giant invisible square covering the whole slide behind the shape would work, just hyperlink it to return to the original slide when the mouse hovers over it. I'm fairly confident that will work in 2003. Does that make sense?

Default Change object properties by clicking & macros

Thanks a lot for those ideas, but I have more than a 100 slides in my presentation and i don't want to double it or triple it , cos on each slide I need to change color of 3 items (toward translucide so they disappear). Once they changed , i dont come back.

I have record 3 macros, 1 for each shape, that change properties of the shape. They work, but if I put the shapes in the mask, this way they are available to the whole presentation, once in diaporama mode if clicked on it the macro doesn't launch.

Any ideas?

I don't know of any other way to do this in 2003, but that doesn't mean it is impossible. I will say though I have several projects like this that are between 100 and 1000 slides where I use masking to combine hyperlinks and animations. In some cases it is safer than using macros or vba. I tried finding a translation in English for the Diaporama mode you are talking about with no luck. Do you know what it would be in English?

Oh nevermind it is simply slideshow view in English. I'm sorry your english is much better than my french. It would have to do with the way you have written your macros. Read this article and it should point you in the right direction.

The "diaporama mode" is when you set the powerpoint file in projecting mode.
This is how they called it in the french version.

I have found a solution:

I have created macros that switch to the mask mode, change properties of the objet, then go back to editing slide mode. I have put button to launch macros in the toolba, therefore, even if i can launch them on the viewer mode, since I view my presentation on a second screen, all i have to do is to click on the macro buttos in editing view and it show the change on the second monitor.

It works

This macro will change the fill of ANY shape clicked in show mode (assuming it can be changed)

Code:
Sub change_Color(oshp As Shape)
oshp.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End Sub
