followed Hyperlink color

[PVA]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I want to add a hyperlink to an OBJECT (not text) and have it change color after it has been followed.

I have PowerPoint 2004 & 2008 for Mac and 2003 & 2007 for Win and can use any of the products to meet this need.

Hi,

In 2004 you can use a Macro that would run when you click on the object.
You would use the FollowHyperlink method. The macro would activate the
hyperlink and apply formatting changes.

I don't think it is possible to do it in 2008.

To add a bit:

Jim's suggestion would work in any Windows version of PPT.

But if you need it to work in one of the free viewers, PPT 2008/Mac or on computers that are even
marginally locked down, VBA/Macro solutions won't fly. If that won't be a problem and you need
help with the VBA end of things, let us know.

I have never worked with macros. If you can offer help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your replies,
