I have text that shows up on slide 1 after I hit my custome action button.
It works fine. I want other text boxes to "show up" on other slides when
that action button us used.

You can only do that with vba code.

I know how to do the VBA code. I know I have to create it as a macro. Where
I am stuck in the macro part is how to tell it that I want "Shape 47 to be
visible".

I don't really get what you're saying. Instead using VBA code, try
adding custom action button manually Insert>Autoshapes>action buttons.
Add hyperlinks that like to your preferable slides.

I have a Custom Action Button on slide 3. When that button is pressed a text
box appears (lets call it "A"). Slide 6 has a Custom Action button that
makes a text box appear (lets call it "B"). What I need, is for when the
Custom Action button on slide 3 is pressed, not only is "A" activated, so is
"B" (there will also be "C", "D" etc.)

Ex: set shape 47 on slide 42 to visible

With ActivePresentation.Slides(42)
.Shapes(47).Visible=True
End With
