A Rollover Effect?

[grafiti4u]

I was told I could get a rollever effect in PPT by using a 'Fake Out' with a 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!

Rollover is very hard to get in PowerPoint - and even then it does not work well.

I have tried exactly the sme in the past and I have been very disapointed by the results. The best I have been able to come up with so far is on Action Settings to "Highlight on mouse over"

This will turn your text box to the inverse colour. It works best with Primary Blue and Orange, but otherwise the results are not great.

Better still is to put a transparent (or almost transparent) box over the autoshape with a line around it. The line will then change colour as you move your mouse over it.

Paste me a reply of you would like me to knock one up in PowerPoint
