using Javascript in a Powerpoint presentation

[Eric4x4]

I searched through the forums and didn't find anything specific to this problem. If it’s there and I missed, my sincere apologies. I have found a bit of JavaScript that I would love to be able to use in a presentation for a training session I have coming up. That being said, I honestly have no idea if this is even possible, so if it is not, no biggie.

I have tried looking through the Microsoft knowledge base, but couldn't find anything there either. I have the code, but can’t figure out how to get it inserted into the presentation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can, but most people use vbscript.
It also supports jscript (not javascript).
I believe you can see the code editor by hitting control+F11 (or F12?).

AKA macros.

Well, ctrl+F11 doesn't do anything that I can see, and F12 brings up the "open item" dialog box.

I actually need to imbed this java script into a presentation, not view the code or macro.

Thanks though.

Sorry, it's Alt+F11 or Tools->macro->Visual Basic Editor.

You can make anything you want, it's all considered a macro (seemingly). You can set it to run whenever. I just did a quick test with some text. I highlighted the text, then right clicked and and chose Action Settings and set it to the macro.

Not sure if that's quite what you were going for, but I didn't see any way to add javascript to it. Just vbscript.
