How to trigger an animation with keyboard shortcuts?

Indy · #1 09-14-2015, 08:49 AM

Hi all, i have a presentation which have animation for some shapes. Is it possible to trigger these animations with a keyboard shortcut? I'm using Powerpoint 2010. I can trigger these shapes by pressing on them with the mouse but i want to do it faster. I haven't found any topic on this. Is it possible to do it with VBA?

There's no simple way to do this. It is POSSIBLE with vba but it's very complex and involves writing Class Modules and saving as an AddIn. You can control triggers by pressing TAB followed by ENTER but you would need to experiment.

I think OfficeOne have an AddIn (not free) that does this.
