Presently I am producing a presentation in PPT2000 to simulate a web
site that we are going to create. Some slides need to advance when an
audio file is played. Other slides need to advance only after a mouse
click. Is there a way to mix the two effects?

Also, some of the slides will have questions and answers. Is there a way
in ANY version of PPT to collect multiple choice answers?

---------- BEGIN SLIDE ----------

Q: Here is the text of the question.

1. Answer One [ ]
2. Answer Two [ ]
3. Answer Three [ ]

Answer: [click or select]

----------- END SLIDE -----------

To allow your slides to advance automatically,
First click View > Slide Sorter.
Select the slides that you want it to advance automatically.
Click Slide Show > Slide Transition.
Put a checkmark on "Automatically after". Leave it as 00:00.

For 2nd question, you can add checkboxes in PowerPoint.
To do so, you will need to enable the control toolbox.
Click View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox.
Select the checkbox button, then add the checkbox onto the slide.

As Tohlz says and also..

When you select the slides for auto transition be sure NOT to click apply to
all slides, a lot of folk make this mistake as there isn't an option to apply
to selected slides.

If you want people to check only one box for each answer then consider using
option buttons instead of checkboxes. (also in control toolbox)

If you need to actually gather the answers given then you will need to learn
some simple vba.
