Can anyone help me please?
I've designed a 5 slide presentation and have been asked for a help box to appear when each slide loads with instructions relevant to the slide on view.
So far I have managed to get some general code but do not know how to call it.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Bernard
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Update
I have now got the following code which works on my PC. Thanks to Badger101.
Problem:
When I try to run on any other PC (same versions of NT and PP) I have to open the VB Editor window before it will fire up. Can anyone help please?

Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
If SlideShowWindows(1).View.Slide.Name = "Slide3" Or SlideShowWindows(1).View.Slide.Name = "Slide5" Then
With Application.Assistant
.On = True
.Visible = True

With .NewBalloon
.Heading = "Navigate Slide."
.Text = "Left click on text which is underlined"
.Labels(1).Text = "Click OK to close this help."
.BalloonType = msoBalloonTypeNumbers
.Mode = msoModeModal
.Button = msoButtonSetOK
.Show
End With
.On = False
.Visible = False
End With
End If
End Sub

The following activates the assistant and positions it top right of the screen.
Bernard
'Show the office assistant
Application.Assistant.Visible = True
'Move it to upper right area of the screen
Application.Assistant.Move xLeft:=900, yTop:=80
