[Badhris]

Suppose if i open a powerpoint slide show using powerpoint viewer and is
there any method where i could able to keep track of the events that are
happening in the slide show. That is whenever i change a slide i should able
to display the slide number to which it is changed... How to keep track of
the events happening in the powerpoint slide show that is invoked using
powerpoint viewer using visual basic ?

If all you want is the slide number to appear on the screen, set it up in
the master slide in PowerPoint. Then it will come up on the viewer when the
slides are shown.

1. No actually if i change a slide from one system i should able to change
at other system, too. And i use powerpoint application(say Teacher side) and
using add-in i capture the events the slide number but how to capture the
animations that is occuring. I searched in PPTFAQ but i could not get any
information regarding this.

2. And at the other sytem(say student side) i am using powerpoint viewer 97
and if i get the information about the change then i wil change it through
Visual Basic Program. So how wil i keep track of the animation at the teacher
side which uses powerpoint application and how wil reflect the corresponding
changes at the student side. I searched for it in pptfaq that didn't give me
the required information.
