Yes, i know this is a game site... and no, this question is not about games... I''m asking you people because it seems that someone here has done everthing atleast once and can say how they did.... The teacher that supervises me during my independent-study at school in which I work on game programming (sorry.. that''s as close as it gets to games ) has been asking me about some powerpoint add-ons, specifically, some transitions. They are outrageously expensive, and the effects are things I could easily program given a screen shot of what the slide before and after looks like. I did a search on programming add-ons for PowerPoint (Office 2000 to be specific) but no matter what I''ve tried I''ve found nothing. This is sort of odd, because in my experience, M$ has released detailed sdk for anything and everything they got, but not powerpoint. Does anybody here have any information on how to write add-ins, and specifically new transistions, for Microsoft Powerpoint 2000? thanks. --Drakonite

Powerpoint supports the embedding of ActiveX controls, so as long as you can develop an ActiveX control (e.g. in C++ or VB), that might be one way do it.
Alternatively, you could embed the Flash ActiveX control into the Powerpoint presentation, to make use of Flash effects.
