VBa in powerpoint

[simon hogg]

i want to create a worksheet in powerplay for customers to enter in their costs. eg. seed fert fuel etc. anyways i think i have to build text boxes then add those text boxes together to spit out a total number into a total cost textbox. i don;t have a clue how to do any of this, can someone point me in the right direction

Display the Developer tab in the Ribbon. It's under PowerPoint Options. Now click the tab. You should be able to add controls to the slide by clicking the appropriate buttons on the ribbon. By selecting "Design Mode", you can add events to those text boxes and name them properly and reference them in the VBA for those events.

k, got that far, built those text boxes, i called them insurance, fert, seed. now i want to add or subtract the boxes together to get me a final number in the totalbox textbox. do i have to write vba code (and how do i do that???) to add the box values up to get an anwswer.
