Family Feud animation

[Khalil Shariff]

I need some help crafting an animation that will allow me
to use PowerPoint to host a Family Feud game. The
challenge is this: I want the slide to show the question
and then five blanks for the top 5 answers. Then, I want
to be able to uncover the answers depending on what people
say -- so, I might want to uncover answer 4 first and then
answer 1, and so on. I know how to animate so I can
uncover the answers in a pre-determined order, but is
there a way to cover up the answers so that I can choose
which one to uncover real-time?
Thanks!

If you are using 2002, check out the 'trigger' capability of the new
animation effects.

Try the sample file I have at the link below. It uses a UserForm (macro
code) that you can recreate additional forms for different slides.

Depending on how comfortable you are with VBA programming...

Create two objects, one of top of the other. The lower one has the
answer (with, for Family Feud, the number of respondents picking that
answer) and the upper one is just an opaque object.

Type in the code below in a standard module:

You might check the animation features page on my site, Khalil. There
are links there to various "Jeopardy" games in the different PPT
versions -- that should give you some ideas. http://www.echosvoice.com
