Rollover State Links?

[Kristi]

Can I use rollover links in my PP project? I am new to PP, I am a web
designer. My client wants 3 rollover buttons that are grey, then change to
red when rolled over. Can I do this using individual graphics that change
upon rollover with the mouse? thanks!

You can fake this effect by having a graphic jump to another slide on
mouse over. The new slide will be just like the original slide except
that the graphic is red on the new slide.

Hi David,

I posted a question in the Newsgroup last week about Rollovers. I tried the
'Fake Out' with mouse over to a new slide. It works - sort of - but I must
not have something correct. It will nicely rollover the first action button
I have set up to rollover, but not the rest. This is what I did:

Screen one, I set up 4 action buttons, one on each section name. I applied
the action to mouse over and jump to the 2 through 5 screens I had set up.

Each screen is exactly the same as the first, just the text for that section
is red. On Mouse Click I had set up the PPT it was supposed to go to, on
both Screen One as well as the screens it rolls over on (2 - 5).

On the screens 2 - 5, I set the mouse over to go to Screen 1, which was the
all black text.

Have I missed something? It just isn't working smooth. Thanks for any
additional help on this!

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of the office. What do
you mean by "isn't working smooth"? Do the links work or not. If they
work, are they not working properly (or "smooth") in some way? You'll
have to be more specific.
