@Sumit: "I have used textboxes [and autoshapes] in my presentation. Most of these are 
hyperlinks to other slides within the presentation. Now my problem is that 
since it is the textboxes that I have hyperlinked, one cannot know looking at 
the slide which tabs [boxes] are hyperlinks. I would like to know if there is 
some way I can do some highlighting or stuff so that one is able to know that 
these are hyperlinks. I would not like to change the look as such, and that 
is why hyperlinking the text within the textbox is ruled out. HELP! I am in 
dire need of it."
    @wfoley1: "If you used the "Action Settings", "Hyperlink to..." option to hyperlink
your text boxes, you need to click the "Highlight Click" check box at the
bottom left of the dialog box before closing out.  This will show the
"Pointing Hand" cursor when over the textbox.

    @Sumit: "I am sorry I was not clear in my previous post. Actually, I need to identify 
the textboxes which are hyperlinks just by *looking* at the slide, the way a 
text hyperlink is identified by its *underline* feature. I want to know if 
there is some way to identify the boxes just by looking at the slide [not 
even using the mouse over]. As it is, I have many slides and I need to 
maintain a consistent look.

    @wfoley1: "Short of changing the border color, font color, etc. of the text box, there
isn't an inherent way to tell that this object has a hyperlink without
moving your mouse over it (at least that I know of).  SORRY!

    @marcoNOSPAM: "I think this is a design question more than a PowerPoint question.  
Things that look like links tend to be blue and/or underlined (based on 
the web model), or they look like buttons.  If you want boxes to look 
like links, I would make them buttons.  You can put lots of text in 
buttons, or you can fill the background with a picture.  If there is 
something else that you think will make users think the object is 
clickable, you can probably create the effect with the drawing tools.

    @Sumit: "Thanks Steve. Though the links you gave contain the code that I wanted, the 
problem unfortunately is that I get an error running them. The error says 
"Method not found for this object." I tried checking what the object is, and 
well, while going through the entire presentation, this gets stuck up at some 
VB Textboxes that I created to represent a form in the slide. Now I dont know 
why it stops at one particular textbox when it accepts the ones before it. I 
hope I am not confusing you...
Thanks
