can i make this happen in ppt?

[perfection]

I know how to hperlink trigger events...
Here is what i need to do... I have a quiz where the teams A, B and C
are given two lifelines each - lets call the lifelines X and Y. The
lifeline record is on a seperate hyperlinked slide to which i can go
to from any slide as and when teams decide to use their lifelines.

I want to show a tick against the life line when used by a team which
i am doing with triggers.

Since i have to close the presentation and shut down the pc and then
continue the quiz the next day i loose the record of lifelines as they
were the previous evening. Any way to save or freeze these triggered
events so that i can continue from my earlier let off (though i close
the prez)?

I belive this can be done with the help of activeX checkbox but the
problem is that the checkboxes are way to small and canot be resized -
so lets not talk about them

What is my workaround (if any)?

With VBA, write the values of your check marks to tags, read the tags on the
next start of PPT.

Hi

As a completely low-tech solution you could use the pen function (ctrl+p) to
cross out the lifeline once it had been used then save the ink annotations
when prompted on exiting the presentation. You would want to use a copy of
the presentation so the original stays 'clean'.
