publisher event handling

[Steve Whitnear]

Is it possible to handle events such as mouseup in publisher. I would like
to detect when an image is moved across a page. The full problem is to come
up with a school pupil teaching game so that if there is an item costing 12
cents and there is a bag of money containing 100 cents then once the pupil
has moved 12 cents inside a box they get a message box popup.

No, this is not possible. Coding interactive applications is NOT best done
in Publisher. You should look into either using a real programming language
for this, or perhaps Flash, or you're really desperate you might be able to
use a UserForm.

Thank you Ed for the feedback. It appears Publisher is the odd one out in
the Office apps.
