Hi Tobias,<br><br>With respect to the code that you presented now: to me it seems to define a textobject (= stand alone textbox), rather than a text-subobject to be placed within a slide-object. In order to define a textbox within a slide, I think that you need some code along the lines of: CSlideText(Slide1.States(Slide1.ActiveState).Objects("Text1")) to replace the textACC that you use now -> CSlideText(SLIDENAME.States(SLIDENAME.ActiveState).Objects("TEXTBOXNAME")).X = 50% etc. <br><br>However: although I could imagine that it might be doable using a do-while construction, in my experience it is always way more easy to either use two separate consecutive slideobjects that are identical except the feature that you 'd like to change (i.e. the first without the textbox that is then replaced by a separate slideobject wíth the textbox -> the effect would be the same as having a textbox appear). Or, if you need more than a single change to happen (or a conditional change that you don't want to organise through slidestates on the second slide), you could opt for having a slideobject being terminated, than in an inline have it's properties changed and with a "goto label" construction go back on the procedure to before the slideobject and have the slideobject shown AGAIN (i.e. also in this case the slide is not technically altered while being shown, but altered and then shown again). <br><br>I believe that 'an E-primer' (by Michiel Spape) contains some info on these types of set-ups (<cite> step.psy.cmu.edu/materials/<b>EPrimer</b>.pdf )</cite> and there are also examples around within this group, although perhaps not the exact same thing as you search for (see for instance the fading slides thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/e-prime/rY2vTRap_4Q )<br><br><br>Best,<br><br>AW<br><br><br><br>On Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:07:32 UTC+2, Tobias wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">To make this more clear: I want to add a slidetext on the already existing slide.<div><br><br>Am Donnerstag, 12.
