If you apply an action setting to most drawing shapes or even images, you can choose "Highlight when clicked" or "Highlight when mouseover" You get PPT's default highlight behavior, which may not be too too exhilirating, but at least it's something. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Robert T.

I ask because I know there is a problem if you use an emphasis animation to change a 3d object that has a picture fill - in that case, the object goes flat. It would be nice to be able to recommend using a highlight action in those cases instead of the triggered animation. -- Kathryn Jacobs, Microsoft MVP PowerPoint and OneNote Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint - Available now from Holy Macro!

Seems to work one way or another with picture-filled action buttons (can't say much for the effect in that case) and with 3d shapes (better there). > ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top         Return to Microsoft Communities   Notify me of replies
