Hi,

I have to complete a timer on powerpoint, it countsdown for a specificed amount of time when a shape on particular slide is clicked. I heard macros could be a way to do this, but I have very little knowledge about them. With my research I was able to add a macro and pop out a message box when a shape is clicked*.

How can I implement a timer with this? VB syntax is pretty unfamiliar to me. What happens after timer finishes is another question though.

*with macro in module:

sub hello_world()
 MsgBox( 'hello world!')
end sub
